-- Hahaha.... Worst resume ever

Hahaha.... Worst resume ever

http://www.veoh.com/videoDetails.html?v=e1336748NgyMqyG

College student Alexey Vayner, a Yale graduate, Russian immigrant, put together a video-resume to attract attention of employers, in a "different" kind of way... little did he know the video would be leaked to the whole world

quote:

In his video, Vayner shows off his varied skills: lifting a 495-pound weight, ballroom dancing to Latin Musak, serving a tennis ball at 140 miles an hour and, as a dramatic conclusion, breaking seven bricks with a karate chop. "Ignore the losers, bring your A-game, your determination and your drive to the field and success will follow you," advised the budding management guru in his slight Russian accent. "If you want to dance, dance," he says, before expertly waltzing a scantily clad woman around the room. Vayner probably won't be hired on Wall Street anytime soon, but e-embarrassment doesn't have to be career ending, hiring experts say. "You certainly have a reputation," says Richard Castellini, vice president of consumer marketing at CareerBuilder.com. "But still being young, someone might take a chance on you."

this has been making the rounds for a bit -- check ivygate for the full awesomeness of this guy's fantasy life (he has to register his hands as deadly weapons, he's won kumite-like tournaments, trained by buddhist monks, worked for the cia and russian mob, one of only 4 people in connecticut licensed to handle radioactive material, etc.)

someone get him a sitcom - he's like ten costanzas

the video is pretty selfish and cocky, stupid of him to have done that. BUT i do have to give it to the guy for being able to break bricks and lift that amount of weight.

check the blog thing though, its ridiculase

no they're real. Unless they make fake plastic lifting weights of that size.

It's made the rounds of all the investment banks. Last I heard, the guy still doesn't have a job. Who the fuck is going to hire a 21 year old guy who says he's a CEO of a company that bears his last name and that he's a professional athlete? Who the hell has an 11 page resume? I hate resumes that are 2 pages long. Christ, keep resumes under a page unless you have the credentials for a CV.

Those spotters were a joke, the bench press was like a three man upright row. haha

The article from the Yale magazine is hilarious.

It would be a stretch to see a CV that is that long.

He ha also run a fraudulent charity and pretended to have written a book on the holocaust, the sole excerpt from which was plagiarised completely from another source.

Someone sent a link where he purports to say that he killed 18 people in the caves of Afghanistan and that whenever he flies he has to register his fists as lethal weapons.

it says here your hobbies include : 'dabbit' ??


'oh no, thats da butt' '... and i also like tennis'

Originally posted by josh4 Wikipedia is the source for all things. This guy is your average ivy league spoiled brat. Its no doubt he comes from a wealthy background. Just considering the video, thats private martial arts lessons, private physical trainers, private tennis lessons, and private dance lessons all paid for by mom & pop. Too bad hes not old enough to be President.

Hmm I don't think so. I think he tries very hard to give that impression.
I don't buy the brick breaking demo (I've seen a number of real ones and I've never seen bricks break that way). He starts with a Chinees kung fu salute yet wears a japanese karate gi (wtf)... anyone with genuine traditional martial arts training could spot a bunch of inconsistencies even in that short period.
His workout is frankly unimpressive... he has someone spotting him with a lot of force, he's probably lifting only 60% of the weight there (probably a lot less in that bench press clip).
His dancing is very dodgy (i got roped into salsa classes by some girls at uni) he is far from good.. probably just started taking dance lessons at a studio somewhere.
His tennis technique is alright, but again nothing to write home about.
I think he's just a slightly disturbed guy who finds his mundane existance so mundane he has to make another one. He claimed to have been raised by Tibetan Buddhist monks in Uzbekistan, and come second in a secret underground fighting tournament held to determine the world's best fighter.

I play tennis - that was NOT a 140-mph serve. Not even close. The whole tennis clip was made to look like it's something spectacular when all he was doing was just your basic serve and some volleys. Not only that, but the whole court wasn't shown, so it made it seem like the ball was travelling faster than it really was. If the camera zoomed out on the whole court, even a kid would see how slow his serve was and how uninspiring his returns.

The other reason that I beleive it's all fake is that he never provides any background information as to why he's one of four people qualified to handle radioactive waste, how he was employed by both the mafia AND the CIA (honestly, that in itself is an impossibility - CIA wouldn't employ anyone with connections to the Mafia, and the mafia sure as hell wouldn't employ anyone with connections to the CIA), and how his fists are "lethal weapons".

And if you lie about one thing, your credibility about the others goes down to 0 as well. So fake, and not worth anyone's time. I hope he gets capped for running his mouth like that.

side note that dancer had a nice body

This was written when he was an incoming freshman and before he changed his last name to the one used in the video - http://www.yale.edu/rumpus/archives...mpus_may02.pdf. See pages 12 and 13, as there's some good stuff in there, too.
