Guy hands out free coffee to get an Investment Banking job

Supposedly this guy handed out free coffee and his resume on the streets of NYC to try to get a job in Investment Banking. Below is the link to the interview that Bloomberg did with him. Personally, I think the guy has no idea what he's talking about.

Bateman Begins:

This is definitely a way to meet people. The problem is that he will probably meet more homeless people than bankers. Who needs free coffee when you are making a mid six figure salary?.

I hope that that's not your logic when talking to girls. "She's so hot, no way she'd talk to me unless I were a GQ model." Granted, there's a right way and a wrong way to do these things, but I'd say he did it correctly. If his goal was to network, he knocked it out of the park.

in it 2 win it
 

A lot of people know his name now, therefore I think he was successful. It'd be nice to find out what ultimately comes of it though.

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.
 
Hire Michael Penn:
OBJECTIVE: "Align myself with an ethical company while leveraging my interpersonal and analytical skills to ultimately help the firm improve its ability to source relevant business opportunities"

God fucking dammit I hate people who put an objective line on a resume, online or not.

Girls fall into two camps: Naughty and Nice. Nice girls like nice men, and naughty girls like naughty men. Don't expect to meet naughty girls if you are a Mormon Missionary.

 

Is it just me or is his interview cringe-worthy? Have some confidence and posture. And for the love of God, please do not go out with the words "That was the pinnacle, it's all down hill from there" referring to yourself. Especially if you are trying to get hired.

He is an outrageous tool. It's definitely cringe-worthy

I'm pretty sure this guy reads WSO. He no longer has an awful objective section. Interesting.

Michael, if you are reading, your "What I have to offer" section sucks just as much. It is 100% bullshit buzzwords.
