Emailing Multiple Firms Not A Good Idea
Apparently, some Penn undergrad sent this little gem out to several "senior employees" at various shops:
From: [Redacted Penn Undergrad]
Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 4:41 PM
To: Senior employees at Deutsche Bank, Jefferies, KKR, Blackstone [example: Jonathan Gray], most other PE firms you can think of on Wall Street
Subject: University of Pennsylvania Senior interested in Analyst Position upon graduation
Hello,
My name is [redacted] and I will be graduating from the University of Pennsylvania this May. I am very interested in pursuing a career in investment banking upon graduation and I wanted to know if your firm would be hiring analysts this coming summer. I know you are busy and would appreciate any time you could give me. Thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you soon. My résumé is attached.
Best regards
This is by far the dumbest job email I've seen in a while. Probably the most epic fail since Jeffrey Chiang. The guy doesn't even distinguish between IB and PE. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

I guess it's bad because he
I guess it's bad because he sent out one mass email, rather than sending individual ones.
But beyond that, it's not like finance is such hot shit that everyone going to good schools absolutely must know the difference between Jeffries and KKR. This is not nearly close to what Jeffrey Chiang did - he was just a straight up asshole, this kid's just naive.
He actually put the accent
He actually put the accent marks on "resume"? Douche.
lololol... a buddy just sent
lololol... a buddy just sent me the e-mail, after it had been forwarded and laughed at by at least 20 different firms (and that was just the chain before it got to me, I'm sure there are other chains). Needless to say, the kid is now the laughing stock of wall street
I think what is most hilarious that he sent the e-mail to at least 75 different people, not even using bcc to send them.. fucking moron.
I dont get what this kid did
I dont get what this kid did that deserves the level of humiliation of Jeffrey Chiang?
It was a stupid mistake that the kid didn't individually send out this email (and it was stupid to ask if a KKR, etc were hiring analysts?), but I highly doubt a lot of you on this site have a much better cold intro email. Besides just spamming an inbox, who the fuck cares? Laughing stock of wall street? Boy... must be a boring life on the Street right now.

This kid is definitely not Jeffery Chiang by a long shot, but there has been a drought of such emails. I'll admit that I've had my fair share of job search flubs, but there is something about this kid's email that just makes me cringe. It smacks of inconsideration and taking the recipient's time for granted (no personalization).

Everyone going to good schools don't need to know the difference between Jeffries and KKR, but someone applying to them does :)

Why is he a douche for using the acute accent? Is that a bête noire to you?
No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well.

Yeah, a girl I know undergrad there said she knows exactly who it is, and another kid said it's all over the Penn blogs and the kid is going through nightmarish treatment right now.
