Which of the following is mentioned as an advantage of women? Passage Passage PassageYou rarely see another soul in the ladies room. On too many occasions, you've been mistaken for someone's assistant. Sound familiar? For many young, successful women, "making it" professionally means learning to master male-dominated workplaces where boys' clubs still somehow pervade(普遍存在). The first thing you should know, surprisingly, is that being a woman sometimes can be an advantage, although the advantage might sound like the "bias" that normally might offend you. The first week of my banking internship, my managing director asked me how the interns were doing and feeling. I'm willing to bet he asked me partly because I was the only woman there, and he assumed I was therefore most likely to know about people's "feelings." But you know what? I did. And thus started our mutually beneficial relationship: I gave him a live read of the pulse of the group he was managing, and he gave me the opportunity for senior exposure. Whether it's listening, emotional aptitude, sympathy, or socializing -- if you have these strengths, play to them. They're good qualities to demonstrate as a rising future leader, and, particularly in a workplace where those skills are in short supply, they're also not a bad way to get noticed. Apart from that, you also need to combat some of the innate "female" characteristics that can prevent you from being a success. Chances are, your male colleagues are constantly vocalizing which opportunities and projects they want -- and you might be sitting there, working hard, and waiting to get what is rightfully yours. Sadly, most bosses are too busy to figure out what the fairest arrangement is, and it often comes down to who talked explicitly to them about that hot media deal or the new partnership your company is launching. So it is always advisable to voice what you want, and make yourself heard. Of course, this doesn't mean you grab at every opportunity. It's all too easy to say yes to every project as you strive to "be a good employee" -- but if you never say no, you'll ultimately just hurt both yourself and your company. It's important to stand up for the projects you really want to work on, and then push back at other times when you don't have capacity. You can bet many of the guys say no -- and you should, too. A. Strong will. B. Broad vision. C. Gentle character. D. Emotional aptitude.
