And be willing to move beyond your comfort zone and your skill set, jump to a new company, or advance to a new managerial position. Finally, remember that you must fit in wherever you land.
That last line was the one that grabbed me. It was certainly a good article, but the "fit in" term was a little vague for me. Fit in how, exactly? I'm sure they don't mean my skill set, because they usually tell me to be better than everyone else so I stand out.
So I'm assuming this means fit in through....appearance and behavior? Tell you what, ESSENCE, I'm tired of jobs where I have to "fit in wherever I land." I'm just being honest. Some women, however, might disagree. You do what you have to do to get the job, I've heard.
So what do you think?

I feel you on that. I don't believe you should fit in with everyone, but on the other hand I'm horrible at trying to fit in. Some of us were just made to be ourselves no matter what situation we are in.
I agree. I feel suppressed as a person when I try to fit in. It's just not natural.
