ALL ABOUT WOMAN STUFF

50 Things Real Women Don't Do In all fairness to my article  50 Things Real Men Don't Do  I thought it would be entertaining to create an article for women also! OK, I also had a few requests for retaliation. Regardless men and women are still awesome and without them where would any of us be? Something to ponder before you read the list. Mind you, it wasn't as easy to create this hub since women are near perfect! Yet I was able to come up with 50 things with a little help from some friends. You will notice that some of the things that I listed about men I also listed for women because they fit the criteria. Once again I will emphasize that this list is based on opinions. Feel free to add your opinions in the comment section. Are you a real woman? Curse and swear like a trucker, unless she is a trucker. Flip another driver the bird, if cut off in traffic. Drink a man under the table. Or do anything else under the table. Take her ho...

Why Women Don’t Apply for Jobs Unless They’re 100% Qualified You’ve probably heard the following statistic: Men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, but women apply only if they meet 100% of them. The finding comes from a Hewlett Packard internal report, and has been quoted in  Lean In ,  The Confidence Code  and dozens of articles. It’s usually invoked as evidence that women need more confidence.  As one Forbes article  put it, “Men are confident about their ability at 60%, but women don’t feel confident until they’ve checked off each item on the list.” The advice: women need to have more faith in themselves. I was skeptical, because the times  I  had decided not to apply for a job because I didn’t meet all the qualifications, faith in myself wasn’t exactly the issue. I suspected I wasn’t alone. So I surveyed over a thousand men and women, predominantly American professionals, and asked them, “If you decided...

As a female developer these are some things I want in a company before I decide to join, and once I’m a part of the team. I want to see other women The first thing most people do before interviewing or even applying for a job is look at the company careers page. If it’s plastered with pictures of white guys in flannel with beards, that’s a red flag. If the exec team is all white men who look like they could be my father that’s another one. When you’re a small team and those are the cards you’re dealt, it’s harder to get around that. But you can always put a statement on this page explaining the fact you want to diversify your team and why. Another trick I’ve seen is having a clearly female silhouette saying “This could be you!”. Once I’ve made it past the careers page, I want to see them in person. It’s always important to have women in the interview process, but especially when the candidate is also a woman. This makes me feel more comfortable with asking certain question...

STYLE & BEAUTY London Fashion Week’s Most Show-Stopping Fall 2019 Runway Looks The Fall 2019 shows featured bright colors, feathers, ruffles and a healthy dose of glitter. By Julia Brucculieri 02/19/2019 05:45am ET JACK TAYLOR/BFC VIA GETTY IMAGES Models walk the runway at the Molly Goddard show on Feb. 16 in London.  The Fall 2019 collections at  London Fashion Week  picked up right where the  New York runways  left off. Much like at New York Fashion Week, which took place earlier this month, there was a sense of fantasy saturating the collections at LFW, which ends Tuesday. For instance, at the Mary Katrantzou show, models walked in technicolor coats and dresses embellished with feathers and ruffles in all colors of the rainbow. Molly Goddard paired a largely neutral palette with pops of bright magenta, mint green and lilac. And at Peter Pilotto, we saw models strut their stuff in an array of ’70s-inspired looks, inc...
