PMS striking again, sweetie? |
Up yours, asshole. |
Sounds like someone didn't get a marriage proposal this weekend! |
LOL! I am female. I went to a women's college. I've seen it the entire range when it comes to female confidence. And we're not talking about interviewing. We're talking about filling out a form on USAJobs. I'm not talking out of my ass here. There is research that women will not apply for a job unless they feel 100% qualified, but men will apply without all the qualifications. |

Sadly, PP's comments are exactly why the glass ceiling persist. While there is much truth in PP's remarks, I would not assume PP counts herself in the category of the group that won't apply because of 100% qualifications.
A smart woman should know they can build upon their strengths in the process just like any man, 100% qualified or not. |
| Just want to point out the "qualifications" required in gov job listings are WAY pumped up. You just wouldn't believe to whom position description is entrusted. |
I am female and apply for jobs I don't qualify for 100%. All the reviewer can say is 'no'. But if I do not apply, then I reduce my chances for employment by 100%. I'll take Vegas odds any day rather than not throwing the dice. |
