Interesting/weird things you have connected over

As recruting season for 2012 SA's are coming up, I've starting to reach out and meet with bankers...

One of small connections i've had is sharing the same area code... I've connected with interviewers over my hometown, high school and college, but an area code is a first! It just goes to show that anything and everything can become something to connect over.

Good luck monkeys.
