Product Review
"Want a fulfilling career? To be paid what you are worth? To get ahead without leaving your ethics in the garbage? Kelly Love Johnson wants you to do all that, too, which is why she wrote the skirt! Rules for the Workplace. It's savvy, strategic, and suitable wisdom for any office."--Jennifer Baumgardner, author of Manifesta, Grassroots, and Look Both Ways "In skirt! Rules for the Workplace, Kelly Love Johnson insightfully infuses the personal with the office political, provides you with a sharp glass cutter (for the glass ceiling) and a sturdy springboard (to jump the wage gap), and delivers a pantyhose-free kick to immediately take charge of your career."--Jeffrey Yamaguchi, creator of 52projects.com and author of Working For the Man: Inspiring and Subversive Projects for Residents of Cubicle Land. "A must read! Smart, insightful and oh so helpful, I love this book. Every woman--young and old--should read skirt! Rules for The Workplace. Why hasn't something this important been written before?"--Jane Porter, author of Flirting With Forty and Odd Mom Out "I picked up skirt! Rules for the Workplace thinking that this is a book my students need--and it is. But before I was halfway through, I realized that the book is for me, too. It's funny, feminist, and packed with practical suggestions that will make your work life better--and make the workplace in general better for women. I learned something or got useful encouragement on every page. Young feminists often ask what they can do to change the world. Johnson gives them a set of skills they can put into practice immediately."--Alison Piepmeier, co-author of Catching a Wave: Reclaiming Feminism for the 21st Century and director of the Women's and Gender Studies Program at the College of Charleston "This book has many good tips and is a worthwhile read!"--Marion E. Gold, author of Personal Publicity Planner: A Guide to Marketing YOU and Top Cops: Profiles of Women in Command
Product Description
Humorous, practical, tell-it-like-it-is advice for women in the workplace.
Only seven of the Fortune 500 companies have a lady as CEO or President, and nearly twenty percent of them don’t have any women at all in upper management.Kelly Love Johnson lays out practical advice for career women who are starting out or who wonder why they’re not moving ahead.
Reader Reviews
This book has many good tips and is a worthwhile read. Women do not need to dress or act like men to succeed. But there are lessons to learn from the men if we want equal opportunity and the salaries to match - especially where self-promotion is concerned. Men learn quickly the value of visibility both inside and outside the corporate environment. Joining community and charitable organizations, as well as being active in trade groups are two techniques that bring positive results. Also, and unlike successful businessmen, women show far too much humility about their accomplishments. If we want people to value our skills, listen to what we have to say, and pay us what we deserve, we must first show that we value ourselves - by making sure our accomplishments are visible to carefully targeted audiences. If we want people to hire us, buy from us, or invest in our companies, they have to know who we are, what we have accomplished and why they should do business with us! (Marion E. Gold is author of Personal Publicity Planner: A Guide to Marketing YOU and Top Cops: Profiles of Women in Command)
