When you get a job and find yourself in a male team, you do not know whether to be happy or cry. It seems that men are not as gossipy as women and do not like scandal, but there are also "pitfalls" to be feared there.
How is the queen?
Many people think that if they are the only representatives of the weaker sex in the team, then they will have a heavenly life: men will wear on their hands, shower compliments, give flowers, bring coffee and fresh cakes. But you will be disappointed, because gentlemen are no longer in fashion, and at work you will be perceived as a colleague or rival.
Rules that will help to work peacefully with men
- Behave with colleagues confidently, do not hesitate and do not be shy, you should be respected and counted as an equal. Try to solve all problems independently, and not run for help. Do not show weakness and do not panic, men do not like it, especially in work. The main task is to earn credibility, and to do this, work promptly, solve all the issues as they arrive. Just do not have to strive to become a "man", this number will not work.
- Use female "tricks" in the right situations, for example, if something really does not work out, "let the tear", your colleagues will necessarily regret and help with the problem. Just do not abuse it, because men will think that you are weak and not capable of anything.
- Try not to demonstrate to everyone that you are smart and are versed in all matters, it is very difficult for men. It is better to do everything in silence, then they will appreciate the result of the work, and say something bad can not.
- Do not show violent emotions in the team, as it is not common for men, and they do not understand this. If you are happy, you do not need to shout and clap your hands, just smile.
- If someone from the staff in the team did not like you, then you do not need to complain about it to others, since nobody canceled male solidarity.
- For a conversation, choose topics that will be of interest to everyone, and discuss the beautiful dress with your girlfriend.
- Learn to say "no" , do not let them exploit you, because you can just boil for coffee all day.
- Initially, put yourself in such a way that the vulgar jokes and words like "the sun", "zainka" and the like do not sound in your direction. Do not see the provocation, because gambling men can simply argue who will first get your location and invite on a date. Even an easy flirtation can end up for you deplorably, down to dismissal.
- You should understand that miniskirts and frank blouses with a large neckline are not suitable for such a team. Buy yourself a pencil skirt, classic pants, a jacket, you must be business, not sexy .
Understand that you are in male territory, with your charter, jokes, which are not meant for ladies. Representatives of the stronger sex believe that they are more enterprising and a woman with them will never compare. For them, you are a kind of hindrance that has invaded the idyll, now they can not be quietly joking,
Pros of working with men
- If you work well in a male team, you can count on a strong shoulder in a difficult moment.
- Every day you will receive the dose of attention necessary for every woman. And imagine that you are waiting for the 8th of March - "one million, one million red roses".
Before agreeing to such a job, think carefully about whether you can withstand such an environment or better look for another place. Since you need to be able to stand up for yourself, learn to defend your interests and hide weaknesses, but at the same time remain a woman.
