• recognizing that in common law agency analysis “the greatest emphasis should be placed on . . . the extent to which the hiring party controls the ‘manner and means’ by which the worker completes his or her assigned tasks”
• explaining that the fact that defendants did not ask plaintiff about her work experience underscored the point that her position did not require specialized skill
