There is a guy who is head of training that only hires girls. Hot married chicks in 20s and early 30s. That's it. You will not get a job with this guy if you're male. Don't even attempt.

This one girl interviewed with me and was cute. No experience. I turned her down. This guy hired her like ASAP.


Wow, that's nuts

I am not really sure I was more qualified than the girls that got the internship, but there were two dudes in my class that had everything needed: research, 4.0 GPA, extra computer skills (programming and such), past internship experience in the same field. My mind was blown when they chose the girls over them.

But seriously, you should be competing for jobs that are consummerate with experience and skill level. Thus eliminating younger goldenbadgers.


Thank God I have a stable & secure job.
With this economy you sometime have to interview for jobs below your skill level.

It's a running joke with the senior level staff. If he has to hire somebody, it will always be girls. And he goes eats with them all the time.

Word is somebody put in a fake resume a couple years back that was borderline perfect, to see if they'd get selected. Didn't even get a call. Hired someone with no computer experience to be a software trainer. You had to laugh.

Yes, but I worked in a male dominated field way before they had sexual harassment laws.

so, knowing that once through the door, you sell yourself....in what ways should you target the "reader" to get the call?


I am having trouble thinking of changes to make to a resume specifically for a girl, especially if they are getting it electronically because you can't dress up the delivery package (reference to the golden paperclips).

Boy or girl, I would try to include as many keywords as possible from the job listing. Mirror their language.

I guess make the resume look as stylish as possible, almost to the point of being fancy, and concise.

What were you thinking, Kashonly?

I have had big boobs all my life. By the time I was working I had heard it all & was desensitized to it. I mostly just laughed it off.

Professional women in office are good. Work very hard and are well organized

Administrative workers are VERY hit and miss
