    This guy's a Longhorn and fellow Houstonian, too. I could swear I know him from somewhere. Click on the link to see the e-mail exchange and his resume. What an idiot!

    You have to be super-careful with job candidates right now because people are REALLY padding their resumes with the job market being soft.

    My favorite thing about his resume may actually be that he has "Fantasy Football" listed as one of his interests.

    wow that sucks for him i wonder what he may end up doing...go back to school?

    its hard for anyone to believe anything on that resume considering he was faking job offers and emails.

    its stupid that he did this of course



    for every idiot like him there are probably countless recent graduates who cant find a decent job despite their good/great qualifications.


    i wonder if this guy will get any job from a firm now that his story and resume are out on the internet. its one thing to lie on a resume (a lot of people pad, stretch the truth) but fabricating job offers?

    i wonder though had he spelled America right and if the MS guy didnt know anyone at BofA if he would have gotten the job?

    what a idiot. Putz had potential but being an arrogant douche with a sense of entitlement and the thought that he was smarter than everyone else, got him in trouble.

    btw, i think i've seen him at viewing parties at Lucky's

    Way to sabotage what looks like pretty good education credentials to bring to an interview.

    A lot of people do that.. usually the recruiter sees it and starts asking you questions about it.

    Of course they would, they see that and eliminate you from the field. They need to kill time, so why not some small talk.

    Don't forget, he also led his intramural football to the championships. Corporate has been looking for a replacement QB for the company picnic after last month's upset.

    Also amazing is his demands for Four Season's accommodations.

    According to one of my co-workers who just started here a few months ago out of McCombs undergrad, Jeffrey apparently faked a recommendation letter to Wharton in high school, told everyone he worked at Goldman sophomore year, and told everyone he got into Harvard Business School.

    Running a marathon in just 3 miles is a pretty amazing feet. If the finance thing doesn't work out for him I'm sure he can make a name for himself in the science field. They've been trying to work out the whole space/time continuum thing for a while now.

    I took a class with that kid my a few years back. He just sat in the corner and was quiet so i can't say much.

    That also reminds me, if you arent majoring in something with some actual substantive skill (accounting or finance basically) McCombs was a god damn waste of time. I think the only class I truly value was the one that taught you who to write resumes/cover letters and how to do presentations.
