I didn’t say “worse” or “not as good”…I said different. If you can realize that a woman is wired differently and embrace those differences, then you can have a competitive edge. Very few people actually get a job from a job board, so don’t spend all your time there. If you are going to put together a networking plan, do it from a business development stand point. Trying to find the hiring manager is not enough. Also try to find the person above the hiring manager. Remember, resumes don’t travel up the corporate ladder very well. But they do flow down. Don’t just schedule time at Starbucks and meet someone and ask them for help. It might make you feel good, but it probably won’t land you a job. Think from an employer’s point of view. We call that "Employer-Centric" and it works. More importantly, remember that companies are hiring and that someone is going to get the job…it might as well be you! Don’t give up!!
