Philadelphia SEC Chief Wants To Know Where You Went To Business School, And Who You Might’ve Slept With There
By Bess LevinAmong other things. Because it’s very likely that whoever you were sharing tips with back then, you’re still giving tips to today, in the form of material non-public information, according to Daniel Hawke, who is heading up a new team out of Philly “charged with cracking down on a variety of market abuses.” Team Hawke will be conducting “trader-based investigations rather than going security by security,” and if your boy from Wharton or the Jack Welch MBA institute gave you a hot tip he wasn’t supposed to, Hawke’s gonna find out, just like he’ll know about the profit you made from the info Bambi from Beamers stuck in your ear last night.
Much of the initial detective work that Hawke’s group is doing relies heavily on computers. The team cross-checks trading data on dozens of stocks with personal information about individual traders, such as where they went to business school or where they used to work.
Earlier this week, thespian-cum-market moving BSD Shia LaBeouf offered a little piece of wisdom re: getting yourself hired at Goldman Sachs. Sayeth ShiLa: “I talked to a lot of Goldman Sachs people, and one of the requirements of getting a job takes place in the first five minutes of an interview. They take you out to eat. The minute the menu hits the table, if you can’t order within 30 seconds, you don’t have the job.” Obviously, this is incredibly helpful information, as there were probably a decent number of you out there who thought you could just take your sweet-ass time making a decision. To that end, we’ve decided to introduce a new feature wherein, whenever it falls into our laps, we’ll offer you a piece of firsthand advice on how to not just get your toe in the door of Lloyd’s Kingdom, but how to get your ass in a permanent seat there, too. As many of you are probably aware, most Goldman applicants are interviewed at least 20 times before they are made an offer and some more than 30. Today we’ve got a bit more color on what you can expect in meeting number 15, via a camera we stashed in a potted plant of a conference room at 85 Broad. In this clip, the candidate is auditioning (that’s what they calls it at GS) for the role of GSAM co-head. Let’s take a look.
Fox Business suggests, completely seriously, that you job seekers send video resumes to your employer of choice. While with the exception of Barclays, which only accepts CVs in this form, it might seem like a slightly unorthodox approach, we say go for it. For those unsure as to the appropriateness of a VR, or of his/her camera readiness, try doing a practice run with a submission to UBS. If it doesn’t work out, you can always be our intern.
