Tip 1. Don’t get excited because a rapper hits on you. “Obviously, a lot of guys are going to try to hit on you, that’s just the nature of the business. If they’re trying to hit on you, they’re trying to hit on every single girl that they come into contact with … So don’t be too flattered about that.”
Tip 2. Draw the line between friendly and flirty. “It’s cool to be friends with people — like it’s good to have people’s phone numbers, so that if something is happening you can text them or give them a call … But whatever you do, don’t take it to that next level. … It’s a very small industry and word does get around.”
Tip 3. Dress for success. “Don’t come to work with your hair in a bun and [wearing] sweats. Always look nice because you never know who you’ll run into that you have to leave an impression on. … It’s important to have a good sense of style that sets you apart, so you’re not just forgotten after somebody meets you.”
Tip 4. Be polite. “You have to be nice to everybody, regardless of their position because you never know — they could be the next David Geffen. David Geffen started in the mailroom. Treat everybody the same.”

“Generally, I think what guys do is they get your number, because if I interview you on my show we can exchange information and I don’t have a problem with that. But I think sometimes people are nervous to say things to me because they don’t know if I’ll blow them up on the air. I had somebody tell me they were going to call me every single day until I gave him a shot … He called like two days and that was it. –jacinta howard
