just extend your left hand. If anything this will work in your favor because people will subconsciously have more sympathy for you and will thus be more likely to help you. A blessing in disguise!

 
ballmouseTell them you were modeling so hard you broke your wrist. That'll get you some brownie points.

Haha yes. This is a blessing in disguise, you will stand out among all the other candidates. They'll be like, oh yea that dude with the broken hand knew his stuff. Just don't say anything stupid like the real reason you broke it (bar fight).

Get a girl to type your networking e-mails. And the fact that she'll see you interacting with people in high finance will make her panties immediately drop.
