Milk Round
Every year the major banks recruit graduates. Apparently, the next generation of leaders in financial services are the ones with massive overdrafts. Hear about a bank's response to a question about how would you deal with a customer asking for an overdraft. Back in 1994 all the major high street banks were recruiting and conducting mass assessment centres. All potential Fred Goodwin wannabees (courtesy of their overdraft as it was the final year) had to complete the a 6 page application form. One particular brand of money grabbing parasiteness (small flys that swarm plus opposite of East) presented the applicant with a case study. The case study was along the lines of student asking for an overdraft and the applicant had to reply. Students in the final year are adept at plagiarism. One particular bright spark copied a letter he got from the same bank refusing an extension to his overdraft. The wording was particularly unhelpful considering only 4 years early the same bank were begging for their custom by being very polite and offer bribes in the formt of credit cards and overdrafts they knew the student could not afford. Several weeks passed and no invite to the pointless battery farm assessment centre. The one where bowls of corn appear on the desk every 30 questions on the IQ/EQ/spatial/verbal/numerical reasoning questions designed by some billy no mates intelligent person who had not had sex for 10 years. Upon phoning the bank's HR department to get some feedback. The applicant was told they were unsuccessful due to the content in their letter, which the bank felt was not customer friendly. Last I heard was the applicant got a job in Enron's credit control department. Dont lend money to people who cant pay it back! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhxMoH9N1K4
