Fired during internship - Put on resume for ibd job search or no ?!
My friend kept showing up late for work,leaving work early, and had a bad relationship with analysts..He ended up getting fired 1 month before his internship ended..When he does his next investment banking job search, should he even put it on his resume assuming the company has a big name? When they call up the company, would the employer just ask to make sure he really worked there? I was thinking maybe the HR would just say "yes he worked here between may and june" and not explicitly state that he was fired..
Tell your "friend" it's a bad idea to even mention that internship. The fact that he was FIRED during an internship suggests he / she may not be a good fit with banking - just a hint.
but hilarious. i had a buddy of mine who pulled a similar stunt like that but he was able last 3 months.
he had a good amount of experience going in so he didn't have much trouble landing a job, so he left the experience off his resume.
i have nothing constructive to say except asking the obvious: If his attitude toward work had him coming in late and leaving early (assuming he was in banking), then why does he want to search for a job in banking? Especially in this climate.
There's still time for him to find something for this summer, may not be in banking or even finance and probably unpaid, but something.
The world has changed. And we must change with it.
this story of "my friend"... It seems that everybody has a friend that does bad things / screw up... LOL
FYI it was really my friend...I didn't even get an internship lol
my friend has a really weird rash on his balls. do u guys think itll go away. let me know so i can relay that information.
and yea, getting fired from an internship is a lot worse than not having one in the first place
yes so should he not put it on his resume?
and no your friend's rash won't go away lol
Tell him to put it on his resume. And preferably to explicitly state that he was fired. That way the next bank can know beforehand not to hire his lazy ass.
no definitely not. if he gets anywhere advanced in the interview process, they will at some point do a background check and they'll know he got fired, that is a fact. any respectable employer will check his references
Absolutely not.
I have never heard of anyone being fired from an internship. That is quite the accomplishment in itself and worthy of a resume line.
your friend sounds like a complete waste of life. id recommend new friends. but it sounds like uve got it bad, asking his questions for him and getting his coffee and stuff
i don't know what you look for in your friends, but you seem like a really lame person. that kid sounds hilarious, and i bet he has some great stories.
as for all of you morons crying out, "Your FRIEND? Are you sure this isn't YOU we're talking about?" seriously, why would somebody make that up when they're already on an ANONYMOUS messageboard? i could understand if this were a forum where people had to identify themselves, but give me a break, you think this guy cares what you think about his anonymous username?
hey, you're that cliche guy who takes the high road and plays devil's advocate. his only description of this idiot is that he got fired from his job and you find him hilarious. clearly you lack standards but for some people, character is important and complete deadbeats just bring you down with them. i kno hilarious kids with plenty of awesome stores who HAVEN'T gotten fired from an internship for reasons as petty as that but i guess such actions are a prerequisite of what you consider "hip" and "hilarious". idiot
how come there is never a single thread where people answer questions within getting into fights? lol
because 98% of the users on WSO are high school, college students with relatively little or no banking experience.
The world has changed. And we must change with it.
And the "FRIENDS" stories continue to come... keep going... HAHAHA
MD getting a call from the police. That's really pushing it on the intern's part.
That's really pushing it on the police's part. I call bullshit. That's harassment and libel, no police force would call your work without a conviction already in hand unless there is an imminent threat to public safety
If you want to get rid of a troublesome colleague though, that might be the way to go (note: impersonating a government employee is illegal, so try not to actually say you're a cop)
