[quote=Anonymous]The condescending older coworker giving unsolicited advice isn't something that goes away by switching jobs. If you leave this one, you'll just encounter the next office's busy body. A few coping tips: -Let her finish her sentence, then politely return to your work. Don't counter her points, argue back, or engage in a discussion. "Thanks for the tip Janice" in a pleasant tone, then back to your work. -If she undermines you in front of others, have casual references to your accomplishments ready. "When I was at Penn. . . " or "Oh interesting! CEO actually loved our presentation on XYZ" -Dress in a very polished, completely professional manner. Being a visibly young woman in the office can make people immediately dismissive of your ideas. Try to look older by wearing very professional clothes and only natural looking make up. Clean hair cut, tasteful jewelry. If you need ideas, think pencil skirt, blouse, low heels, simple pearl necklace, and stud earrings. [/quote]
