Why did you get rid of the thread about women flaunting themselves to get jobs? It doesn't matter which country you come from, you would flash a sexy smile if it helped get you the job. You don't have to do anything else, if you get that smile right!
i don't exactly agree with exhibiting oneself to get what one wants.it's mighty cheap IMHO.a prospective employer has to hire a person based on his/her personality and general job know-how....and not based on his/her vital stats!unless of course THAT is what the employer intends to utilize more than his/her office work!duh!of course i do agree that it's a good thing to dress neatly and go for an interview coz that goes a long way in assessment of the candidate's general character.but flashing sexy/suggestive smiles to get the job is a sure shot way to invite trouble.and then we'll have the same people posting on QL... "my employer abused me after work hours" sighhhh!

In the West it always works and women get away with good treatment. Don't do it here in the middle east. Men of middle east and asian nationality get the wrong impression when co-workers (women)get friendly and start hitting on women. Women get harassed by Asian and Arab supervisors quite frequently. If you file a case in court, women always loose. If you flash a "sexy" smile as you say you will find yourself in your Arab/Asian supervisor's flat with the excuse he wants you to meet his "wife", who is actually on holiday back home. You should rely on your intelligence and not your empty air head mind. In your job, USE YOUR HEAD, NOT BODY LANGUAGE. In other words, DON'T BE STUPIDA.
livinqatar2009.... Please do not hijack the thread... it is always advisable to scroll back and check the original thread. Otherwise everyone in here will be switched to the "drinking mode."
The world may have changed, but still... a woman always need to work extra hard, go that extra mile to prove that she is "as good as a man", especially in technical fields. Thats experience speaking.
In a professional organizational set up where time, proficiency and productivity matter, a sexy smile would not help much during your entire tenure. You need to prove yourself and remain emphatically result oriented. Having said that, a good smile with a positive attitude is always welcome in an office working environment.
Lullabelle - Here's some mutual appreciation...You must be one classy lady judging by your avatar. I can only wish that eye is my own, I'd definitely get every job I went for. I was advised not to add my own pic, I think I made the right decision judging by some people on here.
People say don't judge a book by its cover, but unfortunately they do!
Jervis - you watching GGM again?
"Opinions are like bottoms - neither should be shown in public"
you are indeed a sexy chica! If the profile pic really is your eye then you have no problem in getting any job you desire. I agree with you on the whole, personality counts for a lot. Keep smiling babe!!!
if you flash the "sexy smile" (your words) and get the job, then you get harrassed at work because of this, would you not wish you had got the job just because you were the best person for it and not seen as something else???
Not at all, if 2 people are right for the job who will get the job, the one that's smiling or the one with a sour face who has no personality at all! Like I stated above, you don't have to do anything else!
Please read it carefully, before you comment, otherwise it could be misconstrued!
"Opinions are like bottoms - neither should be shown in public"
I'm not a stuck up, but I don't use my femininity to get to where I want to. I agree with you, a simple smile and absolutely nothing more than a smile may get us by, but because this applies to women only, I don't do it.

i think snessy has some you can get from her.
I think I will try it. I will have to borrow someone's dentures for the interview :O(
go try it and if it works then do tell us.
and if it doesnt work try using your thong trick
am sure that will impress alot.
Does this apply for men also ?
I have known women use a lot more than a smile to get/keep their jobs :O)
here if you get a job with sexy smile then you will be in trouble later on for sure...
Hey...nothing wrong to use your charm to get this done! No big deal....

Sandeep - not at all! Whilst you're drinking your beer, I've been appreciating my wine.
Jervis - I've got the boxset back in the UK, I'm going home in 2 weeks and if Qatar Airways allows me to bring all my stuff, I'll bring it for you.
Snessy must be fuming after her thread has turned into a gathering of beer drinkers ;P

yeah you're right livinqatar, few women are into technical fields...

Yep, he is the king...the one and only Lion King..:)
I know, I know...a beer does affect the mood...nah mode.
Enjoy the beer.
Just don't tempt others.:))
sorry, livingqatar

Sandee... when you drink a beer... you exhibit a sexy smile :)
Uhu, that's why it takes so long between your posts, drac.

What was the subject again, will a nice smile help you get a job or will a strong beer help you get a job??? I don't remember exactly..

Danke, MD but I am waiting for an old promised beer!Indian brand! :)
"A woman has to work twice as much as a man to prove she is half as good as him"
Livinqatar that is true, but as what messymiss said, the world has changed....
a woman can now prove to a man that she's equally as good as him....
...respect (work setting) as some'll say is earned & with competence to survive, anyone has a reason to smile...
The beer is in the fridge waiting for Friday, drac.

I don't give a damn for the "laws of physics". They are all debatable, sandee. That's the beauty about them!

Ok now I agree with the original post snessy, a smile can indeed work wonders :)
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein
Jervis...I'm thinking of a roast for the weekend, maybe leg of lamb - how about you? Do you cook?
People warm to a smile and are instantly attracted to it.
"Opinions are like bottoms - neither should be shown in public"
you are indeed a sexy chica! If the profile pic really is your eye then you have no problem in getting any job you desire. I agree with you on the whole, personality counts for a lot. Keep smiling babe!!!
Snessy, each & everyone do have personality, whether he/she smiles or not...
.. & yes, i'll flash my Monalisa's smile
the world has changed.......it is the other way round now!!
Pay peanuts & you get Monkeys
jervis I have beer in the freezer for the weekend, now do you even want to know what's in that cooker???

Something one of my counsellors grilled into us girls, during our engineering college days.
" A woman has to work twice as much as a man to prove she is half as good as him".
Our gender or smile or whatever may get the door to open a bit, but in the long run it will be our competence that will make people respect us.
Lullabelle - some people's smiles are naturally sexy
"Opinions are like bottoms - neither should be shown in public"
if you flash the "sexy smile" (your words) and get the job, then you get harrassed at work because of this, would you not wish you had got the job just because you were the best person for it and not seen as something else???
I know the other thread was from a bitter woman who didn't get the job
I don't disagree with being right for the job. I'm saying if both are good for the job, the one who smiles will get the job over the other one.
Jervis - dinner was really good, you missed out. The wine went down a treat too!
"Opinions are like bottoms - neither should be shown in public"

Not at all, if 2 people are right for the job who will get the job, the one that's smiling or the one with a sour face who has no personality at all! Like I stated above, you don't have to do anything else!

What about the job, surely you will have to do that right? Can't hide behind the smile forever...unless you are willing to "go the extra mile"...
