COSMO CAREERS.(career advice)(Brief Article)
"How can I get my boss to stop sharing her personal info?"
"The key is to be subtle yet respectful," says Todd Domke, coauthor of Cain and Abel at Work. Carry files with you at all times so you can politely indicate that you're too busy to talk. And try to remain standing when meeting one-on-one to make it easier to exit. If a convo starts to blur boundaries, steer it back on target by asking a work-related question. Lastly, keep your own personal chats out of her earshot to avoid giving her an excuse to get friendly.
"MY GUTSIEST CAREER MOVE"
The following bold women took smart gambles to give their job lives a jump-start.
* "I laid all my true feelings on the table--I told my boss the reasons felt qualified for a promotion. My honesty landed me a spot that would have taken a year to reach had suffered in silence."
Rebekah, 25
* "I attached a word jumble to an application for a creative job. Unscrambled the letters spelled out 'Hire Allison Today.' I know it was corny, but one guy who took the time to figure it out hired me."
