Monday @Mentions May 5, 2014

Happy Monday fellas, here are this week's @Mentions. Eddie will be back soon!

Post of the Week:

We all love reading a good success story so I chose "106 Rejections, 1 Success & Unquantifiable Perseverance" by @"ValueBanker14" as the post of the week. It earned 28 sb's and 25 facebook likes.

Comment of the Week:

"This is still a rumor, but I heard him and Robert Tits are going to start their own firm. Does anyone else think Tits McGee is the next great elite boutique? Discuss..." by @"Nouveau Richie" - Click here to view the thread.

Runner up: "Which one of you candy-assed Goldman PWM jerkoffs is throwing monkey shit?" by @"Edmundo Braverman". Check out the video in that post if you haven't already.

Discussion Topic of the Week:

You guys weighed in with some great points - "Seattle to raise min. wage to $15/hr". And my favorite comment: "Win. I'll need to remember this post word for word so I can shut some hippies up" by @"fakemonkey"

Guidance Counselor:

@"AcctNerd" was on a roll last week with a series of helpful posts and comments, such as these:

How to turn a Networking Event into a Game
Consistency is the Key
Also keep an eye out for an AMA and/or Webinar by AcctNerd coming up soon!

Most Active Monkeys in the past 7 days:

1. @"ValueBanker14" 159, 2. @"AcctNerd" 134, and 3. @"GoldenCinderblock" with 117

New WSO Certified Users:

I wanted to take the space here to thank and congratulate the new Certified Users from the past week. Welcome to the club. Some of these are new members, but all have confirmed that they work in the indicated industry at the level selected on their profile. All Certified Users have a yellow star next to their usernames when posting in the forums, so you all know which sources you can trust the most. As WSO Certified Users, they get i) 3 months free to the WSO Job Board ($45 Value), ii) access to the private Certified User chat room to network with other professionals (priceless) and iii) a free ticket to attend the 2014 WSO Annual Conference in New York on June 28 ($200 Value!).
