Breaking The Glass Ceiling

Various studies have shown that males still dominate females in top-level management positions. This has been termed the proverbial "glass-ceiling".

Although there have been nations and countries where women served as leaders, companies are still lagging when it comes to getting women to run their organizations.

In this part of my interview with Ms. Jayjay Viray, Country Manager of JobsDB Philippines, she talks about how she was able to break the glass ceiling. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears. But she was able to prove herself. She was able to transform JobsDB and make it an efficiently-run organization which has expanded into several divisions.

Some Thoughts on Job-Hunting From The Country Manager of JobsDB

Interviewing Ms. Jayjay Viray, JobsDB Country Manager.

Unemployment is one of the greatest problems of our country. Most people think that it only affects a small portion of the working class. Unfortunately, unemployment affects us all. Even those people with extensive professional experience gets affected.

Ms. Jayjay Viray, the Country Manager of JobsDB,  had been in-between jobs for three months before she was hired by JobsDB. It was a very challenging and difficult time for her. But as she said, 'things happen for a reason. She needed to through the hardships of applying for a job to learn to empathize with the applicants."

The thought of being without a job was truly demoralizing and it ate up the self-confidence of a person. Because, she says, "whatever you have done in the past is nothing when you don't have a job."
