Nice tips

Great tips. When you're working long hours, it can be easy to neglect things like skin care and hair cuts. This is incentive to stay on top of them -- as well as exercise and healthy snacks!

The blonde study is very interesting. I am from Norway, so I do not believe the comment bearem stated is correct.

The study in Europe reached those conclusions because the wages are higher in the northen countries such as sweden or denmark (where most women are blonde) versus much lower wages in brunette populated countries such as greece or spain. These women don't earn more because if the colour of their hair, they do so because the countries have a more prosperous economy

One good tip a HR person told me was th "WOW factor" when you talk on the on the phone smile, they can hear it on the other end.

This was kind of boring. The thing about blondes making more money is an interesting study result, but that doesn't mean just anyone should go blonde...

Definitely have to smile but I can't go blonde because I am allergic to hair dye.

by powerwoman033 Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 11:21PM Report as inappropriate

Remembering to smile more! Don't think I would ever dye my hair blond though.

I loved the tips about keeping almonds or fruit at your desk to avoid the break room

Very good tips!

Good advice. I've read the study that blonds make more money- and so do women who are considered "extremely thin". It's really sad that other forms of female beauty aren't as valuable in the workplace.

Eye contact, smile, etc... all good tips!

A smile does such wonderful things not just in work though.

I can definitely agree that having the right attitude, looking the part, and projecting the right image can get you promoted. I'm just not so sure about the tip about blondes. LOL

I like the article for the most part. Mantra, exercise, smiling, no caffiene...but being Blonde? Really? I'm Black, so how would that apply? There is no way I'm dying my hair blonde, so...um...

Smiling is definitely good. Especially when you look in the mirror! Tell yourself you have a gorgeous smile, and walk out smiling. It'll put you in a better mood, and helps remind you how beautiful you are!

We know corporate America is not aways about hard work ethic, but DONT bleach your hair and DONT bang your boss (well...). These would only be temporary solutions. Try the blue eyeliners and mantras first. Good luck on that raise!

Don't bleach your hair. Don't bang your boss (welll...). I love the blue eyeliner idea and mantras definitely work. We know corporate America isn't always about hard work, but it's definitely not about bleach blondes.

LOL, what ?

by yckitsmary Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 04:19PM Report as inappropriate

I am not offended by the statistics about blonds having an edge. Positive attitude, exercise, and staying away from the break room can keep you focused on important issues.

youre getting a job.....what does this have to do with anything

by judyangel101 Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 01:34PM Report as inappropriate

Positivity is contagious and a great way to start the work day. Great tips, but I don't really think the one about the hair color is applicable.

by Kristen_F Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 04:27PM Report as inappropriate

I've been blonde, red, brown, and now I'm back black and guess what? It didn't make a difference. When I worked corporate the only women that got he big bucks were the ones banging the boss, and uuuhhh that's NOT for me so...I don't agree with the blonde mess. On the otherhand positive energy never fails to amaze me.

Great tips!

by dawnrager Monday, January 10, 2011 at 09:24AM Report as inappropriate

Good article, good tips, but the part about blonds making more money than the rest of us is rather offensive. Some of the smartest, most respected and well-compensated women where I work (benefits outsourcing company) have gray or silver hair, and are not even 50!

Love tip #1, I'll definitely start doing this every morning, after all mind is very powerful! And exercise helps a lot! Also having a signature style [I dye one part of my hair purple and everyone notices when it's not around] I'll keep in mind this things, but the blond thing.. not for me! I love my black hair!!

by LiLing Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 10:58PM Report as inappropriate

If I want to get ahead I need to be a blonde?!! I'm Southeast Asian, I have black hair, I'm not about to bleach it just to satisfy some jerk's idea of what 'success' looks like. This is one area I'm in complete opposition with 'statistics'. Just for this reason I've rated this 1-star, would've been zero if it were an option. Very disappointing.

by Charziparzi Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 04:57PM Report as inappropriate

Some very good advice in this article. The best ones are to use blush to make yourself "look alive" and to keep your hair looking good. Every woman feel more confident when she has fabulous hair.
