Stock Broker




The stock broker, a stepping stone to being an investment banker. A successful young stockbroker spends hours upon hours trading with his eyes glued to the computer monitor. There is a lot of analysis, perspectus researching and gut instinct shorting. "Successful" is the key word, being a stockbroker is not enough, it merely buys him the right to talk at an after 5:00pm function but "success" is the difference between talking and walking. This game is not for everybody therefore skills have to be keen and reliant because there is nothing like trying to "catch a falling knife".

First Impressions!


The saying goes, "You only have one time to make a good first impression". It can seem like pressure to get across the "REAL YOU" in a quick conversation but it is possible. Remember this, less is more, don't say too little and definitely don't say too much. But whatever you say make sure it's clever, witty and impressionable. Confidence is a good thing and the right posture and apperance is even better...GOOD LUCK!
