They said working for one of the top Austin construction companies was no woman’s land, I proved otherwise. Using a charm offensive against my testosterone-filled contemporaries, I took anything but baby steps up the corporate ladder. Being amongst male remodeling contractors in Austin, TX, I decided to forego the usual ‘go on the attack’ strategy which usually worked greatly on my female colleagues in the past. With my sharp wit and undeniable charm I sure was the rose, in full bloom, among the thorns.
There were supposed tried and tested means by which a person eliminates competition in the race to the top. Ah, they seemed but busted myths with my charm strategy.
It’s who you know that matters. Well, that and what you do with those you know. I’m not talking office romance here, but it pays to be a little teaser. At least it works if, like me, your workplace is teeming with big, burly brutes. You don’t even have to go to such extremes in teasing. Maybe show up one day in a sexy number that could make hormones rage and relationships suddenly stagnant. Say, show up at a new home construction Austn, TX in your usual tank-and-jeans ensemble but pair it with killer boots.
It’s a competition and the point is to always look good. Only to some extent, yes, but your focus should be in making your boss look good. Think of ‘make boss look good’ as another one of your kitchen remodeling Austin, TX projects. You’re in much luck if you have a supervisor who’s a bit of a weakling. Pick the poor guy up and offer him your shoulder to lean on. Sooner or later, those who are high up the ranks will commend Little Miss you for picking up (boss’) pieces and for all the work your dainty hands could handle.
Be a femme fatale in a man’s world. Whoever said that preying on man’s innocence was a sign of power? Given that you’re amongst the company of strong, able men who know everything there is to know about bathroom remodeling in Austin, TX, present yourself as someone who’s open to new learning. If your colleagues show that they’re aggressive, all-knowing and all-man if you will, show that you’re open to new learning and are able to take on the part of an inferior.
Before you know it, someone already high up the ranks would come and pull you up.
