unwisely 's review for:
How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job
by Marshall Goldsmith, Sally Helgesen
This book was recommended to a good (female) friend who didn't get a job (that went to a much younger, less qualified man) by someone on the hiring committee (after the fact).
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but as someone who has worked in STEM for like 20 years (OMG), I definitely recognized several of those traits in myself (and of the opposite in my phallo-american coworkers - this is apparently the female version of a book one of the authors wrote earlier, but later realized only applied to). I personally thought they did a good job with the caveats ("obviously this doesn't apply to all women, but"). Because, duh.
I will say I got very, very angry at the entire system, and specific men I work with who benefit from it. Obviously I'd rather the world didn't suck, but in the meantime, I need to get paid, so, I would recommend it to any woman who might need it. (Quick and readable, too.)
