How low would you go to get a job?
15 July 2008
As the global jobs bloodbath continues to claim more victims, how far would you go to get back into a bank?
You could try taking tips from Joshua Persky, a recently redundant Wall Street banker. Persky, who worked as a valuations consultant for i-bank Houlihan Lokey, is selling himself to potential employers by pounding the streets of New York wearing a sandwich board proclaiming “Experienced MIT Grad For Hire!” (Reuters).
He’s been busy handing out CVs, and has attracted employer interest from Singapore to Florida, but still awaits that all-important offer.
Is Persky being pesky or perky? Would you wear a sandwich board to get a job interview? Sell yourself below.
Hello no. For all he has learned during his studies, are the only options to be a bank employee or a sandwich board on the street? Instead of making an idiot of himself or a news story at best, he could instead employ his (we assume) developed skills and earn his living accordingly. The road to being self-employed, for example, is always open, and I have resorted to it during my lifetime without regrets. I am sure doing some tutoring would offer him more in terms of developing skills than being a loud-mouthed self-promoting failure.
