Ep 51: Know Your Value & Ask for the Job!


Listen Later

Welcome listeners to Episode 51 of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast!  I'm your host Dr. Dawn and in today's episode I am going to show you how to  know your value and confidently asking for your next job or promotion. You're going to get the insider-secrets of what I say to my coaching clients to help them understand that betting on themselves  is never wrong!

Understanding Gender Differences in Career Advancement:

o    Men often see their value more confidently and are more likely to self-promote.

o    Women, on the other hand, tend to underestimate their capabilities and may hesitate to ask for opportunities unless they meet all the qualifications.

Statistics That Highlight the Gender Gap:

o    Men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, while women apply only if they meet 100% (Hewlett Packard study).

o    Women are less likely to negotiate their salaries compared to men, contributing to the persistent gender wage gap.

o    Women hold just 25% of executive roles in Fortune 500 companies, highlighting the need for greater self-advocacy and support.

How do you put this all together?  Here are 5 ways that you can know your value and ask for the job: 1) Self-Assessment, 2) Seek feedback, 3) Market research, 4) Networking and 5) Assertiveness.

Best Practices for Advocating for Yourself:

o    Prepare thoroughly by gathering evidence of your achievements and contributions.

o    Focus on the impact of your work, using quantifiable results whenever possible.
