This video, created by Aleksay Vayner, was submitted along with resumes to various investment banks around town. Don’t ever be this guy.

“If you’re going to dance, then dance! But do it with passion.” – Aleksay Vayner, Yale Graduate, 2006.

Update: The story just keeps getting better once old classmates of Aleksay start to dish and Aleksay starts to sue. He plagarized a book on the Holocaust? That is the best thing I’ve ever heard.

    Wow. He can do one set of 495lbs with three guys helping. My hero.

  2. 2 Chapu

    I’m going to go hang out by the East River, find this man and hire him.

    and he can stand still while some chick dances around him, and he can break prescored bricks. I have to wonder how a video that actually reveals a pathological confusion between talent and mediocrity can get you a job at A&P, much less at UBS.

    1. There are dudes at my gym who can bench 300+. Their arms are EASILY bigger than this guy. I call bullshit on his lifting.
    2. This resume is fine and dandy, but it’s hardly a resume of any merit without listing some ACHIEVEMENTS. All this is is some fashion of tony robbins yo ho ho inspirational stuff.
    3. Hey, I just started my own company. We don’t have a product, or actually any sort of license to operate or business model. But I’m the CEO.

    There’s a tag missing up there: Douchebag

  5. 5 be OH be

    so. obnoxious.

    He’s actually trying to give advice for success to potential employers. If you know so much about it why are you sending resumes out?

    And at the end he is listed as CEO and Professional Athlete. CEO of what? Professional athletic what?

    What an annoying prick.

    I think advice is always better when it rhymes (conceive, achieve, believe!)

    I’d be pretty ticked if I was Radomir Kovacevic.

    his resume: http://www.ivygateblog.com/images/vayner.pdf

    He’s the CEO of a nonprofit for kids. (everybody at once: awwwwwwwwwww)

    It does sound like a nice little venture, but look at his website: http://www.empowerachild.org/

    Hmm. Even his “donate” link doesn’t work.

  8. 8 eL Pata

    If I was as cool as this dude, I would cut my own nuts off.

    He is what the Germans would call “Das Uber Geigh”

  9. 9 Little Bill

    According to his resume, he’s a master in Tai Chi and Shaolin Kung Fu (8th Dan)… both of which are Chinese Martial Arts, and yet he’s wearing a traditional Korean TaeKwonDo uniform to break bricks?

  10. 10 gasoline hobo

    Toooooooooool.

  11. 11 ambrose

    And to top it off, the resume is subliterate.

    - “I strive in intense, competitive environments.” Do you, now? Strive to do what? Or did you mean “thrive”?

    - “I live everyday [sic] with passion.” Gargh! [Clutches head]

  12. 12 ThinkandDrive

    I used to place at the bottom of my resume that I did a killer Kermit the Frog impression. Just to see if people were reading it.

    Not once did anyone ever ask me about it.

  13. 13 richlb

    Is he inferring that his serve is 140mph? —-cough BULLSH!T cough—-

  14. 14 Christian

    Simply put I think we can conclude that this guy is a prick, with little chance of a career in on the street. Best wishes with your future endaevours AV.

  15. 15 wayne
