Wall Street is a tough place, just ask Ari Cantor, an Ivy League grad who has been walking the streets looking for a job, literally. Two weeks ago he stood outside Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, hawking his resume and he has plans to head down to Goldman Sachs. He said some bankers had a laugh, but others weren't sure they should take him seriously. Bear Stearns may have been his best stop, because if he got kicked off one corner, there were six more entrances he could try. Here is part of his online pitch:
***Nice Jewish Boy Seeks Nice Sales & Trading Job (or a Nice Jewish Girl to Please Mother)***
A bright, funny and quick Ivy League grad with a sharp wit (think Ari Gold from Entourage, only shorter and sweeter) seeks a sales and trading job with a major investment bank in Manhattan. Previous work experience in commercial real estate brokerage (investment sales and debt-side refinancing) for various hotels and resorts within a boutique house. Left position after realizing career goal was to sit, sweat and seep stocks and bonds in front of a double-Bloomberg trading panel from dusk 'til dawn.
