    one comment these days i give friends. if you want a good job, make yourself standout.

    there's no value getting something everyone is getting. a business degree, CFA, even a MBA.. there are just so many of them doing it.

    do something different. go to africa for a year's mission.. or antartica for an expedition..etc. at least that proves to people you have some psychological strength to do something tough.
    Agreed! Great post.

    I am fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese and English. A fresh grad from a top UK University. Enough psychological strength to do a lot of things. I Missed the I-banking recruitment deadline. What can I do to get an entry position in I-bank now?

    I've been suggested to date the daughter of i-bank higher ups. What are you suggestions?

    write to them and try. many places employ outside the graduate program.

    else, wait for next year but in the interim do something sensible.

    there's no way u can prove your strength by talk. figure out how u can prove your worth.
