"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nOnce again, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler wow us with their friendship. Case in point: At the SAG Awards, Tina won an award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role as Liz Lemon. One of the first things she did during her acceptance speech was give thanks to her bff in the biz, Amy. Heck yes.Seeing women like Tina and Amy support each other\u2014while working in the same industry\u2014is awesome and should be the norm. I'm so sick of seeing silly cat fights between women who work together. Sure, it's easy to feel threatened and view another girl in your same field as competition but experts say it's best to try not to.Alexandra Levit, author of Blind Spots: The 10 Business Myths You Can't Afford to Believe on Your New Path to Success says that if you help boost a girl in your industry, you can enhance your own career opportunities because she'll want to return the favor someday. Plus, you have a buddy who gets it, and that ultimately can make her a great sounding board for you and help you make better decisions for your career.Think of it like good karma. Applauding her success will increase the likelihood of your own success, say Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster, co-authors of Mean Girls at Work: How to Stay Professional When Things Get Personal. If you stop looking at everyone as your enemy, you might find that you learn something\u2026and are more relaxed at work in the process.So, you want to get ahead at your job? Congratulate your female coworker on her promotion. Befriend someone in your industry because you're stronger as  a team. And should one of you take the lead, that's okay. There is enough room for all of us to get ahead.Want more from Dara? Follow her on Twitter @dadeeyo.Photo: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
