My thought was that the applicants perhaps had Madonna's famous in-your-face
attitude, minus the business savvy to make it work...

I would like to argue that Premadonna may be an accurate
term if the
applicants were all born (or have a mindset stuck) before
Madonna (pop
singer extraordinaire) first entered the music industry.
I, like Andrew, appreciate the groundbreaking effect that
Madonna has had on
our cultural consciousness, especially as it applies to
techwriting. <grin>
