Ask Liz
Dear Liz,
I work for a university in the physical plant. There are only three women that are not secretaries employed here. I am a plant operator just like the men here; however, I have been asked to change my appearance so that I look like all the other men in the plant, i.e. no make-up, no nail polish, wear men's clothing, no jewelry, cut my hair, etc. There are men in the plant that wear earrings and have longer hair than I had before it was cut. Is there anything I can do short of changing my sex?

Camp WorldWIT Featured Seminar: Networking - A Whole New Perspective
Networking experts and noted authors Ilise Benun (The Art of Self Promotion) and Diane Danielson (Downtown Women's Clubs) are teaming up to bring Camp WorldWIT attendees an extraordinary session: "Networking - a Whole New Perspective"
Diane will begin the session with a energy-packed look at why traditional networking tends to make us so uncomfortable, why we force ourselves to continue interacting via traditional avenues and what you can do to craft a personal networking strategy that fits your unique personality, schedule and lifestyle.
Ilise will then take participants through a fun, insightful hands-on exercise that will help you to maximize the "people factor" through face-to-face interaction. Attendees will learn new skills for engaging, exploring, learning and connecting with potential contacts and practice those skills on other attendees.
Led by Danielle Cyr, Executive Director of our wildly successful NycWIT chapter, this is a session you will not want to miss.
Many more sessions are available at Camp WorldWIT: Upward Bound. Take a look at the complete agenda and register today for this groundbreaking event!
May 20-23, 2004
Appel Farm Arts & Music Center, Elmer, NJ
