How to Get the Perfect Job After College | Tanya Helms | A new societal phenomena known as Ant Tribes are making a huge impact on Chinese culture as more and more college graduates become unwilling members. Many cities throughout China are now housing Ant Tribes. Many college graduates are working in menial jobs. They are isolated from their families and their dreams of a successful career are broken. They are busy like Ants but going nowhere and staying nowhere. During this lecture, learn how you can equip, educate, and prepare yourself to avoid entering the Ant Tribe. |
