Berufswelt.

<blockquote>
<p>My choice to brand the CV with a bold positioning of my name
actually seemed to scream that I was a woman. I could easily
imagine many of the people I had worked for discarding the
document without even reading further. If they did read further,
the next thing they saw (as politeness declared at the time) was
a little personal information, and that declared I was married
with kids. I had put this in because I knew many employers would
see it as showing stability, but when I viewed it through the
skewed view of middle-aged men who thought I was a woman, I
could see it was just further damning my cause. I doubt if many
of the managers I had known would have made it to the second
page.</p>
<p>I made one change that day. I put Mr. in front of my name on my
CV. It looked a little too formal for my liking but I got an
interview for the very next job I applied for. And the one after
that. It all happened in a fortnight, and the second job was a
substantial increase in responsibility over anything I had done
before. In the end I beat out a very competitive short-list and
enjoyed that job for the next few years, further enhancing my
career.</p>
Where I had worked previously, there was a woman manager. She was
the only one of about a dozen at my level, and there were none at
the next level. She had worked her way up through the company over
many years and was very good at her job. She was the example
everyone used to show that it could be done, but that most women
just didn’t want to. It’s embarrassing to think I once believed
that. It’s even more incredible to think many people still do.<br>
