This hands-on manual provides Latinas with the tools they need to
succeed at work by examining some of the societal and cultural
obstacles that hinder their progress. Despite being 20 million
strong, Latinas represent America's most undervalued human
resource. This career guide is the only one of its kind to focus
specifically on empowering the working women of the Latina
community to embrace success and build skills for workplace
advancement. The Latina's Guide to Success in the Workplace
explores the complexity of the Hispanic/Latino identity and the
impact of this culture on professional mobility. The author asserts
that there are five obstacles which Latinas confront within their
own belief system: the idea that women do not need an education;
the assumption that the needs of men come first; a belief that it
is sinful to desire money; the opinion that Latinas should not be
ambitious; and the mindset that successful women in the United
States lose their femininity. Throughout the book, up-to-date
research, case studies, and inspirational interviews offer
strategies for overcoming the cultural factors that limit Latinas
and providing a roadmap for achieving success. Case studies that
illustrate inspirational stories of Latina women A list of
recommended behaviors for becoming successful at work Practical
tips and techniques for creating a career path Interviews with some
of the most successful Latinas in the United States
