Don’t be hard on yourself and don’t let anyone treat you or say things to you that are hurtful. We are in a constant process of growing and, right now, you are in a place you might not be in tomorrow. I would say don’t worry about what other people think. What advice do you have for younger women who, at times, can feel self-conscious or insecure about their looks? And if you love yourself, there is nothing that is going to stop you. What matters is who you are, what makes you you and what you have to offer to other people. The most important thing is what we have to offer. I think beauty is inside, and you might think, ‘Everybody says that,’ but it’s true. Not necessarily in how smart you are, but how you think about other people, and how you're trying to change things. What makes a person beautiful is your soul and the way you think. What do you think makes a person beautiful? So it’s like a 50/50 thing.Īt the fashion agency, like you expressed, you're surrounded by beautiful people all day. Because of certain stereotypes of was beauty is, I feel uncomfortable. However, there are also difficulties here at V&M. For example, at the World Trade Bank it was different because it was a man’s world, filled with American men. We are all from different places of the world so I don’t feel less. We have Mariana, she is Nuyorican, and then Sofía is Mexican - just like me - and Ana Maria. To be honest, I am so happy to be working there because it's super multicultural. Sorry!Īs a Latina, what challenges have you encountered in your workplace? He needs a lot of help with numbers, he’s not very good at it.

There’s a group of girls, called “El Pelotón,” that I love so much. Maybe not in the industry that I wanted, but somewhere where I could grow as an economist. It was so sad but I knew that there was an opportunity for me. But I was doing my internship at the World Trade Bank and they didn’t give me a job because, like I said before, I look different than other woman and another girl got it. Well, it’s not like I totally decided on this. How did you decide that this was the right job for you at the moment? But my mom knows everything and she’s happy because she knows that I have an amazing opportunity to grow, and I know I will because that is what I have been studying my whole life for. They didn’t just want me to be a secretaria. That wasn’t what he wanted for me, so I had to lie a little bit to him. to be honest with you, I didn’t want to tell my dad what the job was about because I studied a lot, went to college and got a Masters degree, and he really appreciates all the effort that he and my mom did for me. How did your parents respond to you accepting this new job as a personal assistant? That might also change how I dress too, and maybe I’ll get to wear cool outfits! I am so excited because since I graduated I have been looking for a job, and I got a position at V&M and it’s so amazing! I am so happy because I get the chance to help my parents with their income, help our whole family and also learn new things because I have never been involved in the fashion industry. But I am trying to ignore that because I know what I have to offer. I have this different kind of beauty, and I totally feel that there is something in me that people don’t really like. It’s a little bit hard because I look a little bit different. How do you navigate the fast-paced and cut-throat world at V&M Fashion? I love the city and, at the end of the day, it’s my home and where I grew up. When I am walking down the street or going somewhere I feel like I totally fit in this world, not like when I'm at work at V&M or at amazing fashion shows. I love the multicultural vibe that it gives me - and the buildings. In ET’s special interview with the one and only Betty Aurora Rincón Lozano , the aspiring businesswoman goes into detail about her new job at V&M Fashion, how she handles bullies and what her dreams and long-term goals are. But with the support of a kind and generous group of secretaries called “El Pelotón,” and her friends and family, Betty refuses to let the negativity get in the way of her big dreams. The job is far below her qualifications, and has a slew of pros and cons, including being judged and humiliated on a daily basis for her unique sense of style. However, her bright and positive attitude lands her a job as a personal assistant to Armando Mendoza (Erick Elías), the president of fashion agency, V&M Fashion. In search of her dream job, Betty encounters many months of rejection. The new adaptation stars 21-year-old newcomer Torres as Beatriz “Betty” Aurora Rincón Lozano, an intelligent, Mexican-American woman who graduated with honors as an economist with a master in finance.
