I came across one of Helm's blog entries a while back (see link here) and liked the idea of revamping

If you've seen Helm's version and made comparisons, it's clear I'm aiming for a different mood.
Unlike Helm's version (which I hereby dub Mandy-The Discontent), this version is a bit more

Goals which this job may help move her towards. The girl is working this angle for all its worth.
Who knows what opportunities may present themselves ready for her to exploit...

C+C welcome.
