Play it right, get an “unfair” advantage | Yeva Hyusyan | TEDxYerevanSalon

We all know that building a career as a woman is more complicated in today’s largely patriarchal world. While the statistics clearly proves that female candidates have a lower chance to be hired for managerial positions, higher unemployment rate, and paid less than men, this talk claims that women have an UNFAIR advantage when it comes to changing the status quo. Your chances to succeed increase substantially when instead of focusing on challenging statistics, you focus on better understanding the rules of the game, and play it your own “unique way”, by leveraging your personal and feminine strengths for everyone’s benefit.
