    Is your boss male or female?
    What is your job title?
    What skill(s) did you have to land that title?
    How much a year does your job pay you?
    Would you say you work around more women than men? If so, did you land your job because you are a woman? Or even was it because of your looks that got you the job?

    I hold two jobs, A is full time, B is half time
    Job A:
    editor, direct supervisor, male (as was the publisher who hired me)
    staff writer
    seven years of experience in the news field
    peanuts, but that's the biz. decent bennies.
    the newsroom fluxes. Right now, it is slightly more males. Stays close to 60-40 either way.
    I certainly did not get my job from my looks. I got it from a proven track record of doing the job and a handful of awards. and being willing to take a paycut to live in town.
    Job B:
    female
    concert assistant
    willingness to work odd hours for the good of a non profit, demonstrated ability to work with public, volunteers and artists.
    Good hourly for a non profit. no bennies aside from opportunity to learn the booking and contracting side.
    Varies day to day with volunteers (largest portion of coworkers)
    Again, not for my looks. dedication to the association and its goals, wide knowledge of music biz.

    Is your boss male or female? Male
    What is your job title? Call center rep
    What skill(s) did you have to land that title? I've worked in customer service before and I have an associates degree
    How much a year does your job pay you? About $18000
    Would you say you work around more women than men? It's about even.If so, did you land your job because you are a woman? Not that they have informed me. Or even was it because of your looks that got you the job? Well, as much of a babe as I know I am, being the sex goddess I am probably had nothing to do with impressing the 60 year old woman who hired me.

    Creek, most of that is tips, right?
    I have a co worker at job 1 who bartends one night a week (Friday) and makes about $200 in that night.

    Absolutely Drumminmama...Well, In Fact, Almost All Of That Are My Tips-I Usually Don't Even Recieve A Paycheck-Just A Check That Reads 'Non Negotiable' Because Of Taxes : ) I Generally Recieve Anywhere From $0.00 To $50.00 Checks Every Few Weeks~ :cheers:

    I'm going to do the job I just quit a couple weeks ago because i am a student now :D
    Is your boss male or female? female for my full-time job, male for my part-time/contracted position
    What is your job title? Regional Director for my full-time, National Trainer for my contract
    What skill(s) did you have to land that title? educational background in psychology and liberal arts, and several years of non-profit management experience, a few citations, studies and chapters published in books from a positive reinforcement approach i developed
    How much a year does your job pay you? 34-40ish a year for my full-time (non-ptofits don't pay a lot) 500-1500 a day for speaking and training engagements in my contracted position
    Would you say you work around more women than men? women in full-time, men in contracted
    If so, did you land your job because you are a woman? yes, I landed my past three positions because of someone I dated who kept me connected even after i ended things
    Or even was it because of your looks that got you the job? in the begining-yes, now-no way. i was hired to supervise special needs programs at 14 clubs at 22 years-old because my boss said he was infatuated with me at the interview we later dated.
    i am totally average now and have worked hard and deserve the interview offers i currently have down here. i might be getting preferential treatment and not meet all of the qualifications, but i have a lot of diverse experience

    I don't regret sleeping with my boss whom i was in a relationship with and i don't regret using my sexuality to get what i want. i got a lot really young career wise and am ready to take a more hands on position or go to grad school or get married...those are total polar opposite choices, but im trying to go whereever jesus leads me.

    I am my own boss, meaning my boss is female.

    The most important skill I had to have was the guts to do what I do.

    I work around more women than men but no, I did not land my job because I am a woman.

    My looks don't hurt. It's important to be seen as warm and relatable in my job.
