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.

I thought this was going to be about Guy Hands. A bit disappointed.

Sounds like one of our newest chimps went through with it after all:

"play the market." lol kid is thinking s&t. fukin people these days
this kid is definitely on this site
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.
Really hope he has a better answer when an interviewer asks him "Why Banking?".
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.
Who doesn't want free coffee?

He's a fucking idiot. His résumé is awful too.
Exactly what I thought
So this kids been to 5 different schools since 2008? He's trying way too hard and doesn't have a clue what he wants to do. All I see is management. Not 1 hint that he's interested in finance. How come no one talked to this kid and set him straight?
Would have been cute had he been qualified. As it is, it's the hopeless last gasp of a kid with a crappy resume.
He looks so pale on the interview, like he's about to faint. I don't think he's tough enough for the markets. It's not a game, it's real business.
God fucking dammit I hate people who put an objective line on a resume, online or not.
WE KNOW WHAT THE OBJECTIVE IS, YOU MORON
They should have asked him "What is Investment Banking, and what does an IBD analyst do? because he clearly does not know the right answer..
I think he's a shoo-in for an investment baking 'gig
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
One thing that would help is buying a decent shirt so that the tie doesnt look so bad. Kind of looks like a farmer trying to wear a suit now. The idea is pretty funny though, I think some guys there definitely give him credits for that.
Guy is clueless. Also he spelled "Busines" with one s.

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.
