Miss Mattock went for an interview in Auckland with designer Vicki Taylor, who told Miss Mattock she did not have a job for her but loved her scarves and asked for three to be used in her upcoming fashion show.
Miss Mattock already had two scarves made but had to quickly take to her knitting needles to whip up a third and send it away for the show, held on Saturday.
As well as having her pieces shown on the runway, Miss Mattock was given VIP seats to the show.
She is now planning on doing a series of internships with Vicki Taylor and hoped to get a job in the fashion industry.
I can imagine finding a job in the fashion industry would be hard, but finding a job in any industry can sometimes be a struggle.
It's sad when you see people desperate for a job when there are no positions available.
It's even worse when you know there are people working who don't give it their all.
Maybe we need to take a leaf out of Miss Mattock's book and persevere until we reach the end goal, whether it is in our personal or professional lives.
