It’s Still Not Easy Being a Woman at Work!

Former Beauty Queen Turned SWAT Cop Shares 5 Things Women Should Never Do on the Job


Women have been in the workplace since the 1940s and since then have managed to infiltrate every male-only enclave. But even though tremendous progress has been made, men and women still have problems working together and women still have problems being taken seriously.


As a former beauty contest pageant contestant and undercover detective, I know the difficulties women encounter in traditionally male-dominated professions, and how women can overcome them.


  • Want a few secrets women can use to win men over at work and vice versa.
  • Never complain about cramps or PMS to a male coworker.
  • Never criticize a male coworker in the presence of another male coworker.
  • Never ask a man’s opinion about their hair color, hair cut or weight.
  • Play pranks on someone and ask men to help you with their planning.
  • Ask men to help you with problems even if you don’t actually need their help.
  • Be in the know about certain sports teams, standings and players.
