It’s amazing some of the questions that are asked by the in-coming analyst group.
Here are a few gems I have come across.
“Hi [Corporate Whore],
Thanks for getting in touch. I was wondering how much of my salary do you think I should be saving/spending each month?”
WTF? I am not your parent.
“Hi [Corporate Whore],
This is gona sound cheeky but, how often do the office lads go out for a piss-up?”
I laughed when I read this. He’s thinking on the right lines. However, his focus on the lads may be indicate something.
“Dear [Corporate Whore],
I can’t log into the intranet, do you know how I can resolve this?”
Of course, wait until you begin employment and have received a username and password from IT. You moron.
“[Corporate Whore],
What do you do on a daily basis? Do you enjoy the work and the people? If not, why haven’t you left?”
You pompous little shit.
“[Friend of the Corporate Whore],
What should I wear on the first day?”
“[Friend of the Corporate Whore],
Do you think printing up some business cards is a bit forward?”
“Hi [Corporate Whore],
Thanks for lunch, just one more question, what are the christmas parties like?”
“Dear [Corporate Whore].
… Any tips on how I can stand out in my group?”
My response “Use ‘common’ sense at all times. It’s less common than people believe.”
