[quote=Anonymous]It's unclear what you want. If you're a fed, it doesn't seem to me that you need to do anything "extra" to keep your job, so long as you're meeting the work requirements. If you want to move up (in grade, or title?), it depends on what your agency requires. Generally speaking, I'm convinced that the difference between the number of men vs. women at the top is due to the fact that there are fewer people at the top reaching down to pull women up. In other words, women have fewer "supporters" who'll say "Suzy is awesome, you should bring her on." So the men who have supporters saying this get promoted - more often, and at higher wages. Which means that your next step may be to find and cultivate someone who'll do this for you.[/quote]
