  1. man it feels a little late in life to be trying to find out if I have any talents or interests

    also i'm coming to the realization that i'm really tired of clothing and fashion and want to build myself a sort of personal uniform with 5 or 6 grail items and have that be the entirety of my wardrobe.

  2. i talk like i regularly do to these "professionals" (lol, everybody's a professional nowadays)

    whenever they're talking about their careers, make sure you have googly eyes. think about it: don't you like getting fellatio, whodi? ~nh~

    and i slip in a "swag" every once in a while. i'm not joking.

    and yes, get that business card. and compliment him/her on the fantastic raised lettering.

  3. @bbk/shufon - nah, this is not some super exclusive IB internship; this is an internship that most of my homies have done and personally recommend to me (dropping my name/resume to their bosses, etc.).

    i personally don't think i'm cut out for ibanking/S&T, despite what other mentors say about my resume. damn well believe that i'm not giving up just yet just because some people say no to me a few times.

  4. getting rejected for fucking unpaid internships is so soul-grinding, man.

    i feel so fake whenever i'm in these interviews. most of the time, i have no clue what these dudes are saying. i wanna learn, but these banks are giving me no chance. free fucking help. what the fuck.

    it's so discouraging, man. i try to stay positive and keep going, but i'm getting shot down at every turn. i don't like to read too much into things, but all signs point to a career not in finance.

    finna not meet any expectations.

  5. breh, you don't want to be overt about it. my philosophy about this is to be aggressive (not pushy) and to "butter up" the relationship.

    go to the lunch meeting with du. people love talking about themselves. charm him, make him laugh. it's almost as if you're gonna fuck him (pause). ask questions about how he got to where he is, his life/wisdom/likes/dislikes/knowledge, alla dat. keep the conversation going. be genuinely interested in him.

    when the lunch ends, thank him for his time and ask him for his contact info. shoot him a thank you e-mail afterwards. let a few weeks go by and update him as to what's going on in your life. then pop the question: "i'm currently looking for an internship. how do you recommend i best position myself for a ____ position at your firm?" attach your resume. while you wait for a response, start applying to other places.

    PS - wear a suit. there's no excuse to not look like a boss. i'm assuming this is all for an unpaid internship, right?

  6. i've been considering cutting off certain people in my life (not burning bridges, just less interaction).

    i value friendships over everything. although i believe i go out of my own way to help others as much as possible, i feel they won't do the same for me.

    one du, in particular, always promises to help me out and consistently spews lines like "talk is cheap" and "be a man of action." but on the rare occasion that i ask him for a favor, du blows me off and tries to change the subject all too quickly.

    i'm not hating or anything, but hypocritical shit like this really makes me step back and cherish who's truly important to me (a lot of people here on sufu, you know who you are).
