So this is it! Big day for a kid, just out of school and looking to explore all the world of finance has to offer. As he walks in, we shake hands and I introduce myself. I notice no tie and no belt. Weird, but his shoes have shoelaces. I doubt he’s on suicide watch. Anyway, I didn’t catch the name so I ask for a copy of the resume. And then a shocking reply: “Nah, y’all should have it on file already.” Really? Maybe I should have prepared better before I decided to take the time out of my day to listen to this garbage…
So, tell me about yourself, any internships or experience working in finance?
Yeah, it should be on my resume, you know I’m sayin’?
No, not really. I do know that this interview is over Mr…your name is on your resume. Good luck on your next interview, Mr. Harry Johnson!

This is a classic example of what NOT to do at the interview. [...]
