No Stanky = No Goldman?

So I put “competitive hip-hop dancing” under the interests section of my resume. During my interview at GS, the MD asked me to demonstrate the Stanky Legg AND to teach him how to dougie. Ok, well, maybe I fudged my interest section a little, and, well, maybe I couldn’t exactly keep it stanky or teach him how to dougie. So it got pretty awkward even though I nailed the technical questions.

At this point, what can I do? Should I email GS a video of me doing the stanky legg (I found a youtube tutorial and practiced it)? And/or should I show up at the company, bust open his office door and just start teaching him how to dougie?

You practically gave him a BJ. I would never dance for anyone if they call me out on it. I would have told him, I would do it after I get the job. Then not do it. I took JPM over GS.

 

Hey, do whatever you have to do.

I have "competitive hip hop dancing" as well, but nobody ever asked me to dance.

I'm guessing probably b/c they're afraid of "sexual harassment" charges......

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

Why would you put competitive hip hop dancing under interests if it is not something you are interested in? Sorry, but that just makes it seem like you are trying to mock African American culture - i.e. makes you seem like the kind of liability who cannot maintain politically correct views or at least keep his mouth shut about his non-politically correct views.
