Women's Job Search Alert: 7 ways to watch how you talk!
Getting ahead in the job marketplace . . . or on the job . . .
is a special challenge for women. It shouldn't have to be that
way. But, until the rules change, women have to learn to go with
the flow to get ahead.
The good news is that, if you can master some simple
communication skills, you can put yourself way ahead of the male
competition. But, according to career coach Molly Dickinson
Shepard, you have to learn to talk more like the male dominated
management you're confronted with.
Essentially this means learning how to speak more assertively,
she recommends. But without crossing the line into
aggressiveness. Here are some rules that can help you make
management sit up and pay attention:
1. Your tone and level of voice can make all the difference.
2. Don't challenge your boss or group leader in public. Don't
embarrass colleagues and don't make personal attacks.
3. Never show anger at work.
4. Confident speech is good. Cocky is bad.
5. When you're in charge and a decision is yours, don't solicit
everyone's
opinion.
6. Women like to make everyone feel included. But men see this
as passive and unleaderlike.
7. Don't allow yourself to feel wounded by words of criticism at
work.
Effective communication is a critical factor in getting along
and getting ahead on the job. Practicing these simple rules can
give you a real leg up.
The same is true if you are looking for a new job. Many times
you will be meeting face-to-face with a male decision-maker who
has expectations about how you should communicate yourself. Once
again, assertiveness rules.
To be assertive you have to very clear about what you have going
for you that will attract the attention of the decision-maker.
And then you have to be able to tell him with confidence. It's
worth practicing for.
