Meaning of a sentence

what is the meaning of :"she was criticised for not fitting stereotypes
  

Top answer

She didn't "fit in", somehow. I remember when Microsoft was first hiring many years ago, a friend of mine applied for the job of secretary. She was very capable, not unattractive, nice dresser, spoke good English, had good secretarial skills - but she didn't get the job because she didn't "fit the corporate image".

  • you guess, because she couldn't figure it out.
  • I think that "corporate image" is probably close to the stereotype mentioned in your sentence.
