"Alex" Vayner's Resume

That's a less then impressive CV.

Dripping with arrogance.

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********

What a tool. God, you can tell immediately what a douche he is just by skimming his resume.

What a #@!. "Increased efficiency of firm’s operations" with a 3.17 GPA. Ha!

is he an exception or a reflection

thats the question

at yale? reflection...

why didn't he include a beginning month for his first internship listed? DING!

Veyner surfaces again? Does any know what he is up to?

apparently he's still looking for a job -- even though he graduated last May! As funny as his ordeal was, I kinda feel sorry for the guy. He went out on a limb, thought outside of the box, and got f'ed in the A for it. he probably reads these posts too...

who is this guy and how did he get such a bad rep?

Graduate from Yale '07 looking for a full time job last fall. Sent his resume along with a video (can find it on YouTube, I think) detailing all of his epic amounts of perfection. I could only get through the first 3 minutes of it before wanting to throw up and take a shower. Forget who he sent it to, but in a cool demonstration of how tight-knit Wall St is, it made it from that HR dept. to everybody on the street in a matter of days. Made it into the Journal I think. Also turned into a bit of a shit show for that HR dept, since application details and identities are confidential.

I was somehow under the impression that his resume was a lot longer than that; this one appears to be a current version (since the original article would have had an expected graduation date). As I recall the original was along the lines of a half dozen or 10 pages of orgiastic self-promotion.

Guess the poor bastard didn't get the job and is now getting his CFA and a finance cert. instead. Methinks he should abandon finance and find somewhere his name doesn't elicit laughter. Could someone enlighten me as to what "term" GPA is? If it's overall he might as well not put term; if it's his final "term" - year or semester - then he was a pretty shitty student.

does anyone know where I can find the video??

Not sure is this will work. If it doesnt just Google Video, "Impossible is Nothing"...

damnnn...

Guy wasn't creative -- he outright lied about a number of very substantial claims. UBS took a lot of shit for inappropriately releasing the video (I'm not sure if UBS actually got hit by a lawsuit or just threats of one). In the end, AV fell off the map and now appears to be resurfacing with what I would call a pretty weak resume.

Remember, if you're applying for a job in IB, be as boring and conventional as possible. You can be funny and smartass during the interview. As evidenced by this guy's misfortunes.......

On the other hand, I heard Donald Trump's looking for someone to fire for the next season of The Apprentice. Maybe if he gets lucky, Trump will give him an offer.

I would bet money that AV has submitted an application to be on the Apprentice. That is such a perfect fit for his aspirations and personality. I would also bet that he submitted applications more than once.

In fact, I think I would actually watch the show if he were in it. I predict he would last 4 rounds before being axed. They always nix the boring ones first and they would need to keep him in for a couple episodes to get the ratings....well....existent.

successful is a mental transformation?? What a D***! Its sickening. It seems his arrogance and nerdiness overflows into everything but his GPA

The video is pretty amazing based on the weightlifting, tennis, ballroom dancing, etc...

I'm suprised he didn't get a call for the interview....he's got more to offer than most sh@ith@#ds out there....

I hate.... how he... pauses... afteeer, every other word....

I mean come on. The guy probably had it written on cue-cards behind the camera, and yet he tries to make it seem like he is really thinking thoroughly before he answers.

Also, why the hell does the dance music get so loud, and crappy?

Oh, and we cant forget the sweet bookshelf he strategically placed behind him... Sweet, he has 4 hardcover books. I hope he returned them to the library after he was done. Someone might actually want to read them...
