Dumb
Aleksey Vayner sent a video resume to Swiss bank giant UBS in hopes of getting a job. Instead it showed up on a couple of blogs, and while it did get him a spot on the Today Show, it’s caused him more embarrassment than good.
In this video he demonstrated his ability to break stacks of bricks, he claims a 140 mph tennis serve, and claims to bench 495lbs. Yeah, right, just take a look at him in the dance photo with a tight shirt, the only way he’s going to bench 495 is with a floor jack.
Now he’s whining about how everybody’s picking on him.
Guess what, the original recipients of the fanciful resume, were probably rolling on the floor, which is probably the reason somebody thought of posting it.
Here’s a link to the NY Times article.
Simple rules, if you’re going to talk the talk, you’d better be able to walk the walk, and if you can’t take criticism don’t make your BS public, not even to a small number of people, you never can tell who they might tell the tale to.
I know a guy who claims to be ex-naval intel, strange, there’s no dd214. I guess that he figured the fed we both know wouldn’t bother checking, he was wrong, and yet he occasionaly brings this up.
People are so dumb.
