Day 7: Unofficial Guide to Banking & Dating

I am taking a break from my regular motivational posts and going to share a quick guide on "Job Search". This is a presentation that I put together for the panel, "Breaking The Bamboo Ceiling" sponsored by Chinese Link at Columbia University.

On a side note, check out this talk by David DeAngelo. You will find there is more similarity between being successful in career and being successful with women.

Question: So my fellow Monkeys, what are your thoughts on correlation between dating and career. Any feedbacks, suggestions and comments?

Well we'll call it a draw. The men need to improve their pitching skills. The ladies need to improve their catching skills.
