Once upon a time there was this girl called Mari Grafsrønningen. Mari, in the

business most known as Marigrafen, was graduating as a graphic designer

and now she is looking for a job. Let’s get to know her a little better!

But she flew around anyway and visited cities that she liked on a scale from 1 to 5.

Because of her poor eyesight poor Mari could never become a pilot.

Mari also took time for her hobbies. One of her biggest interests was,

without a doubt, interior design ...

The biggest passion of them all, though, was probably

her love for chocolate.

On a scale from little to much, Mari liked chocolate

a little too much.

If you now think that Mari was all about chocolate, you’re wrong.

She did like ice cream too.

Besides laughter, the first thing that came to mind

when people thought about Mari, was dots. But she did like other round things too.

As you can see, Mari loved playing Lotto and other kind of games. She never

won much, though.

Except from that time she won a car, of course. How-ever, she only won it for a

year, so it didn’t really count. Besides, it was a Smart car and not a Beetle. In Mari’s heart Beetles were the only

cars that counted.

Speaking of counting, Mari was such a type nerd, that she had to count to ten each time

she discovered a small typographical mistake.

She could, for example, get pretty upset when she discovered a hyphen glyph where

it should have been a dash.

Dashes are often used to mark a pause or break in a sentence. Well ... Mari was so afraid of pauses in con-

versations that when she met new people she could say about anything to avoid an awkward silence.

All though, of all job interviews Mari was called into, she had actually ended up getting hired in all of the cases.

Because of this, Mari was always a bit nervous before going to interviews.

chance, give her a call.

And hopefully you will work together happily ever after.
