Lenny Lasek Position: Financial Consultant Employer: Public Financial Management, Inc. Job description: Oversee and advise municapalities regarding the issuance of bonds. Salary range: 45,000 - 500,000 Job satisfaction: I am sad to report the level of math is much akin to 8th grade algrebra, but problem solving skills are essential. Overall, I am satisfied with the knowledge I am gaining, not satisfied with the taxes, satisfied with the office atmosphere, not satisfied with the hours. Suggestions for students: Get a summer job where you interact with wealthy people, present yourself well, and don't hesitate to ask about a person's occupation. Showing interest in something and knowing people gets you in. Don't lie about your experience, most places say they want experience but typically it is preferable to hire a kid who is educable. That is all an undergraduate degree says: I am young, I know how to do things that have no application, but if you teach me something I will understand it better than that loser that went to Tech. Also, in an interview, when they ask you what your dream job is don't tell them being a life guard so you can work on a tan. You tell them that you want a job in whatever industry and that you want to make as much money as possible. Ambition is important. Nobody wants someone who lazy and settles for less. Willing to be contacted: Yes E-mail Lenny |
