From time to time around these parts, we like to offer tips for those looking to successfully make the jump from one firm to another. Obviously a solid record of making money for your employer will help but in addition, or perhaps in lieu of that, nailing the first and last interview is key, and whether you’re a college senior, a third year analyst or a 20 year veteran of the industry, the interview is something with which some people still struggle. While eye contact, handshakes and how to discuss your “worst quality” have all been covered, one topic we haven’t yet discussed is what to do in the event the person conducting your session asks for your thoughts on sex abuse. Specifically, the sex abuse scandal that went down at your respective alma mater. Luckily, career services at Penn State is all over it.
Students may acknowledge that they are primarily concerned for the victims and also concerned for Penn State in these unsettling times. However, students should keep the focus on the job or internship for which they are applying and how they will excel in the opportunity. Students should note that they can only take personal responsibility for their individual actions. Talk about all of the good work accomplished at Penn State in building the skills and professional qualities in preparation for the position, and about the excitement to put those skills to work for the employer. Inform the employer or internship site that, if hired, you will reflect favorably on the employer through your good work, core values and skills obtained through our University.
So, in the event you find yourself being questioned about possible towel snapping that went on at the university from which you matriculated, despite the better instinct you might feel to confess you don’t give a rat’s ass about the people who were actually affected, remember!
1) Primary concern for the victims
2) Secondary concern for people who weren’t affected at all but who suffer from delicate constitutions, as well as for the school store, where merchandising sales have taken a hit
3) ???
4) Profit.
To the same end, we imagine this isn’t the first time someone’s been required to speak at length about terrible things that happened at their alma mater with which they had no direct connection, so if on your 27th interview at [insert firm here], the matter of the Kent State shootings, the Virginia Tech Massacre, or the Zuckerberg/Winkelvii scandal come up, feel free to apply the same lessons learned today.

for those of us who went to jewPenn and other real schools, we don't give a flying fuck about the shit that goes on in the Penn State showers. we knew they are all a bunch of pedophile feigalahs years ago.

Hi Gurbir!
When it comes to brainteasers, please only include those over age 18 when answering, "How many manholes are there in the US?"
Has anyone considered that this letter is an elaborate ruse by PSU to trick the student population into thinking PSU grads are actually getting interviews somewhere?
the most helpful thing penn state could tell its students to do, is not defend Joe Paterno
- a not ignorant Penn State grad who is embarassed by the riots
good catch there bud. i'm glad to see they started teaching grammar enforcement for blog posts
We don't give a fuck here either.
I did it. I got away with it. If I did not do it, I certainly plan to soon.
Yes, it's an 85-year-old senile coach's fault that the AD, every Admin at PSU and Board of Trustees (including the Governor) suppressed the town's open secret of a former coach being a pedophile. The Governor, who also sits on the Board of Trustees, who is also the former AG of Pennsylvania has been sitting on this Sandusky case for years and chooses to leak the case after he is elected.
- Not a Penn State alum, but aware of the hypocrisy involved in firing an old man for not doing enough when everybody in the fucking town knew Sandusky was a creep

This actually came up in my 27th interview for that internship at Goldman the other day.
Ehhh…who am I kidding?
Co-Signed
1) If he was an 85 year old senile man he SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FUCKING COACH
2) Surely you understand the basic fact that Paterno RULED the Happy Valley and had more power than any other official at that place? Or did you not get that, as evidenced by your moronic comment?
Everyone who knew about this should be fired. Plain and simple. Including your precious old man, JoePa.
"Leon, under 'Interests' you listed….debit? dabut?"
"Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's 'da butt.'"

Scene: 34th Floor of 200 West St. NY, NY
Context: Goldman Sachs 41st round interview
Penn State Interviewee: You want answers?
Goldman MD: I think I'm entitled to them.
PSI: You want answers?
GMD: I want the truth!
PSI: You can't handle the truth! Sir, we live in a world that has secrets. And those secrets have to be guarded by men with athletic knowledge. Who's gonna do it? You? Lloyd Blankfein? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for the boys and you curse the house that JoePa built. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that the boys, while tragic, probably won games. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, theoretically wins games…You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me to keep those secrets. You need me to keep those secrets.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty…we use these words as the backbone of a college career spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very entertaining autumnal Saturdays I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide them. I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a playbook and run some interference. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
GMD: Did you keep the secrets?
PSI: I did the job I needed to do.
GMD: Did you keep the secrets?
PSI: You're goddamn right I did!
horrible! go occupy some humor
Not funny which means three things:
1. You are a waste of DB space.
2. You are anti-Semitic because the self deprecating Jews that I have gotten to know since moving to New York are much funnier and wittier.
3. Kill yourself.
You hope that happens, but it won't. The scumbag Governor is already spinning his suppression of this case to his favor. The Governor has wanted to cut funding at PSU.. gee, what better way to push that agenda against the school than to rattle the entire administration. That entire board of trustees knew Sandusky was a pedophile, since they're the ones who offered him his cushy retirement package — but you think all of them are going to be "fired" for being hypocrites? HA. Let's just sack Joe Pa, the face of the school, who is the entire reason any of us have even heard of Penn State. Fucked up what they're doing to that old man.
I'm still hiring.

“The official announcement of the formation of the Big 5 was made by University of Pennsylvania president Dr. Gaylord Harnwell at Penn’s Houston Hall on November 23, 1954.
The Big 5 was touted as a chance for Philadelphia to present the best basketball it had to offer with the schools sharing the profits evenly after Penn was paid for the Palestra’s upkeep. The formation of the Big 5 was conceived by Penn athletic director Jerry Ford. Penn sports information director Bob Paul and the Quaker’s business manager John Rossiter worked to put the round-robin format together. The other athletic directors who worked together to form the Big 5 were LaSalle’s Jim Henry, St. Joseph’s George Bertelsman, Temple’s Josh Cody and Villanova’s Ambrose (Bud) Dudley.”
Go read the 23 page indictment of Sandusky and u won't be joking about anything.. Guy is sick, JoPa is sick for not saying something to the cops, and those stupid students demonstrating should be smacked by their parents. Shit woulda never happened at a school whose football program was weak. Clearly they were all tring to protect the program. Fuck em all.

Okay, who’s the smartass Jew who’s doin’ the jewPenn comments??
The files are in the computer
Finally a voice of reason
You do realize that more than 8 kids get raped in the country every year. Gotta love jumping on the fuck PSU/Paterno bandwagon, when you probably have a rapist living in your building or around the corner or near your relatives that you couldn't give two shits about.
congratulations on quite possibly the most ignorant comment I have ever seen on DB, its pretty hard to be the least intelligent no matter how hard you try.
The title of this article was almost too long for me not to be ADD about it! Fun comments on here though.
That's right. I don't get out of bed for less than fifteen alleged rapes by one public-facing official. Amateur.
-Mike Nifong
your logic is akin to saying that it is unfair to prosecute a criminal just because you know that somewhere, someone else is committing the same crime.
Also, dirty little secret: its not that the school was revered and this whole thing blew the cover off the ivory tower. Just saying, I would not have given a phone interview to a kid out of PSU with or without this story coming out.
trying too hard.
