Our age - time speeds and working women, and not just working, but making a career on an equal basis with men. Before the woman assigned only the role of the housewife: "children, kitchen, Church", now women engaged in politics, business, financial, investment, standing at the head of the companies, and women invaded even in those business sectors which were traditionally male - construction, industry, etc.
Women are not less talented than men, but often underestimate their abilities.But, at the same time, according to psychologists, women at work and in building a career mistakes and failures more than men. What causes it? Let us look at this question.
Major mistakes women at employment
Women looking for work in a different way than men, more patiently and quietly, because the woman is always the role of Housewives, besides the husband, if he exists, will always insure. The man in the case of job loss, being the main breadwinner of the family, complex and more nervous than a woman.
But women when searching for a job to make their specific bugs:
-
Little resort to the help of acquaintances, friends, former colleagues, etc. Women prefer mainly to seek work independently, thus, somewhat narrowing the range of searches. Men, on the contrary, connect to the job search all they could from friends and ending with old classmates. As a result, men find work faster.
-
Women define themselves lower standard they underestimate their abilities, skills and abilities. Men, of course, peculiar to some arrogance, but also a lot of confidence in their abilities. If a man anything does not know or is not able, he rarely admits it, and says "I can handle it" learns on the fly and, interestingly, really, in 8 cases out of 10 deals. And the woman is a bit passive in this respect, she often says to himself "I can't, can't, have to learn".
-
Women make up a resume, sothat the emphasis is on the experience with the transfer - where and by whom they worked, and most importantly - what they learned on the job, their best personal skills - leave in the shadows. Men do exactly the opposite.
-
Women are less discuss social issues related to device to work than men. The question of wages women just discussed, due to their practicality, in great detail, but the rewards and compensation at work often consist not only of wages, but of the bonuses and bonuses, social package. Moreover, this social package can be 50% of the total compensation of the employee.
- Also
women, compared to men, are less interested in their further improvement at work, training, growth of professional skills. Men in employment in the company is often asked the question: "What I have here will be prospects? ". Women are less interested in - are there in company training, how often, what, as you grow professionally.
-
Women rarely tell the employer that you agree to the test, for example, to perform some test work free of charge, to perform some task, to work for a couple of days free, etc. Men quickly agree to such an option, moreover, we offer it. Men are more often at risk, women don't like to risk. But in this situation the risk is justified, because, daring, and showing what you can do, working unselfishly, often there is the chance to find a good job.
-
Women work less initiative: rarely call employers post your resume on a larger number of sites for employment, to just sit around waiting for someone to respond to their resume. Men are more active, they call, go on interviews, looking for work in different ways, ask employers failed - the reason for the refusal, quickly analyze their mistakes, and generally faster in finding suitable work.
Major mistakes women at career
Despite the fact that women already have equal rights with men, both political and social, according to statistical studies, most employers, when looking for candidate for the position of the head of any Department, prefer a man. Moreover, women are still paid significantly lower labour men, both in the West and in Russia. Why is this happening? Answer here are a few: traditional conservatism; men often pick up my men's team; established in men, the stereotype that a woman cannot be a leader, and if able, "a leader-bitch".
But women themselves, moving the ladder in his career, make some mistakes:
-
The manifestation of flirtation and sexuality - this is one of the most common mistakes women at work and the exact error, which usually has negative consequences and creates around working women, especially young and cute, some of the atmosphere of carelessness. Of course, cases when a woman is going this way, have reached a certain office chairs abound, but in this little chair to sit in it, they have to do something. In our movies and on TV even have a stereotype like women using sexuality making a career, and this stereotype is very unattractive. Still better to rely on their intellectual and mental abilities to their best side character so interesting, and more reliable.
-
Negative reliability - manifestation of selflessness and dedication at work never goes unnoticed, it's a great human qualities, and when the woman agrees to work overtime, to replace a sick employee and t.n. it is one thing, but quite another when her patience and unselfishness start to abuse. The man in this situation explodes faster and indignantly refused, and the woman all patiently endures. As a result, it turns into a "cash cow", which for a long time can work without a break, to constantly sacrifice their personal time. As a result, the coming disappointment and fatigue. Still, the best option manifestation of respect not only to others but to himself. If the breach of trust is in the habit at work, we have to say, even if it's head: "Sorry, but I have a standard work day, I have a family, children, I am entitled to a lunch break and rest, if I don't relax, it is unlikely that the next day will be able to prove himself a full-fledged employee".
-
Decrease their abilities - women are no less talented than men, just men are more willing to Express themselves, to show what they are capable, willing to take risks. Women are more cautious in their intent and often underestimate their abilities and skills. For example, scientists have found that the intra-household learning how a woman: the distribution of family budget - the basics a competent financial planning, parenting - ability to lead a small but collective, performing domestic duties - ability to perform sometimes tedious, but necessary duties. Women should learn to analyze their achievements and skills and try to apply them. To demonstrate their abilities and professional skills is the right way, most importantly, do not cross the fine line between confidence and overconfidence.
-
Unwillingness to take responsibility. A female leader is always responsible for the team, for their work, not only his, but also the entire Department. Of course, you can take responsibility only for their personal work, but then and perspectives at work will be less.
-
The desire to please everyone - this is the wrong career path that will lead sooner or later to disappointments and conflicts, both internal and external, with colleagues and management. This trait is most well developed in women. To please everyone is impossible, unhappy will always be. The most important thing is to develop your General line of conduct at work and follow it, and it should not be hard as steel, which all breaks, on the contrary, as they say in the East: "be as flexible and soft as water, which gets everywhere, everywhere leaking, but, if necessary, and dam washes out".
-
Woman like a man, both externally and internally. A woman working in a male team or becoming the head begins to adapt to men: do not get out of the Trouser suits, Smoking cigars, drinking whiskey or vodka, to curse, zapanibratskoe to laugh at the sebaceous jokes, approvingly assent when criticizing other women. Such women inherent in men's style guide is to rule with an iron hand, rigid and inflexible. This style guide is outdated, not to mention the fact that it is unnatural for women. Here we can recall the wonderful aphorism Chesterton: "When a woman becomes his Friend, then it may happen that soon she also comradely will give his knee under-ass". Of course, this does not mean friendship with a woman, but just what is written above. Female leader requires a new leadership style that combines and rational will, and diplomacy women.
-
Women are more amenable to flattery. Especially if flattery concerns the appearance of the woman, her clothes, etc., This is the weak point, which was caught in the trap of not one woman leader. Flattery at work always says that flattering something from their leader should be, and it's always reason to be suspicious.
Thus, we examined the major mistakes women that are most often found, as in the device of the women at work, and when building the woman of his career. The most important thing is to boldly face their mistakes and tell yourself it's never too late to correct them, it is never to late to start something new in your life, learn something new, try to be different, rejecting stereotypes, so much imposed on public opinion.
