I Want to Work For Diddy: Exit Interview with Brianna

Brianna recently talked about her elimination from I Want To Work For Diddy and discussed her reaction to being kicked off the show as well as her bad habit of pulling out her eyelashes. (yuck!)

Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

So you were ready to work for Diddy?

Definitely. I don’t think I was able to show my expertise and what I can do or what I have to offer. I was the only person that was a true assistant. I could have shown a lot more and I could have done better than I did.

So, wait, you aren’t just planning lunch and going to Starbucks all day?

Yes! I actually do work. I actually have a lot going on. As we speak, I’m at work. I definitely put my hours in. I don’t work for a senior manager for nothing. I sweat and don’t go home sometimes and do things that other people don’t want to do and sometimes feel degraded. I’ve been through that and I feel like a lot of people don’t understand that feeling and what it’s going to be like to work for Diddy. This is not a position where you get put on a pedestal. You barely get recognized.

What makes you seek out a job that sometimes makes you feel degraded?

I didn’t see this show as a casting call, I saw it as a job, which I saw as the next step. You want to move up. The higher the person you work for, the higher you move up and the more respect you get as an assistant. I don’t want to be an assistant for the rest of my life, but while I am doing it, I want to be the best.

So is it just about the next step, or is there anything immediately rewarding about it?

I find it rewarding knowing that I helped someone complete their day. I helped make somebody’s day better.
