How NOT to apply for a job in I-Banking

All Aleksey Vayner (Yale '07) wanted to do was to find a nice, cushy job in banking. So he gets creative. Besides the requisite resume and cover letter, he creates a little vignette of his philosophy of success. Now he is the laughingstock of the financial industry in NYC because of it.

The blog owner replaced the YouTube video with the VEOH video clip that plays on the page. Just press the triangle.

I do believe IvyGate is my new favorite site. Did ya'll read the Dartmouth sorority and fraternity reviews? Put's a whole new spin on the quotes that were discussed in the Dartmouth Rush thread.

If you don't get it, then it's okay.

Most of us COULD take the time to try and explain it to you just so you can see why it's funny, but I get the feeling none of us would get very far.

Drive through now.

oh shoot i thought i was the only one - i mean c'mon, let the guy define 'success' in incredibly bizarre and repetitive fashion for 10 minutes in peace . . . it's pretty clear he's good at almost everything, so we should really listen to the wisdom he's accrued in his 22 years on this menial, redactive and ultimately laughable Earth.

plus he answers the question that every hiring agent asks - how would this guy appear if he were representing my company either on a shoddy interview setup, or while being videotaped doing max reps with significant spotting?

really, the people who think this is 'funny' or 'hilarious' or 'an absolute trainwreck' don't understand - they don't get that success is a decision, and that impossible is nothing, and they probably don't even own any motivational posters for their office. they certainly did not check out his legimate website covering his modeling, and they CERTAINLY do not understand how his jank accent gives him instant credibility among drunken internet surfers.

in short: omg wtf
