Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Which women are more successful in job interviews ? (hilariouschaos.com)

Are the women who wear blazers and trousers more successful? Or women who wear dresses and skirts?

Bonus question: Does embracing your femininity in an interview help or hinder your chances of getting hired ?

Wild Card: Do you feel more confident in getting hired when being interviewed by a man or woman and why?

This is a really interesting question. I always go trousers for an interview to ensure there's no criticism (too short, too tight, too dowdy) or accidental underwear reveal. I'm a girly girl so just can't hide my femininity much, but there are interviews I would be careful to appear less girly.

Who to be interviewed by is difficult. Some women can be more competitive or plain hostile than a man would. But some men just don't like or respect women, some totally hate us. Men IME are more likely to assume a woman is going to be off because of children. It really is difficult, and one I can't call at all.

Yup. And that is what's frustrating about it

Yep... and it's something a good chunk of men never have to consider
