[...] contestants C-Listers posing happily with wads of fake cash (kinda like this guy, who was Aleksey Vayner‘ed on Gawker a couple weeks ago). According to the synopsis, over 100 people’s lives [...]

He doesn’t have an ego!You guys just can’t recognize stellar confidence when you see it (note it’s in his video)have any of you actually thought that perhaps there are super over achievers in this world who can do a whole lota shit, and actually be really good at it? Don’t hate because all of your activities only relate to excessive use of drug paraphernalia, and maybe the blowing of air through some long hard cylinder shaped instrument.(get your minds outta there, though I’m sure many of you participate in this type of “blowing” as well). All the competition today causes grads to go extra lengths to show that they have that competive advan over the next shnooze, so what if non of what he’s talking about relates to the job he’s applying for, the video is creative as hell, and you all are just mad that you don’t possess his manly maverick like approach. Stop being so jealous, it’s giving you acne, and we all know that is so unattractive.

Although very strange I think what he did was very ballsy and at the same time innovative. Did it do him any good? Well lets see we are all standing around watching it. He has made himself a name perhaps that was his true intention to get attention. So who are the fools us or him?

We have been programming our video resume software CVOne for more than a year now. And, we were not sure whether video resumes would ever really take off. Thanks to Aleksey it did. About the same time we wanted to launch. He is our secret mascot.

Don’t be too critical, this guy reminds me of most of the Generation Y Ivy undergrads I know. Here in grad school, I can ID many 18-30 year old girls and guys who are just as self-obsessed, performance coached (with all the requisite Kaplan, SAT coached, Guidance counselor, and Tony Robbins-like bullshit), and hyper ambitious as this ex-commie jackoff. And they say the fall of the Berlin wall was a good thing? Not in this case. The fact is, many of the BMW SUV driving, i-pod dangling from the ear, jimmy choo wearing, hedge fund manager wannabe’s that we go to school with are just as fucked up as this guy; they’re just one You Tube video away from being verbally impaled on a blog themselves. I say fuck him and fuck them (many of you who comment here) too! I just can’t wait until image search engines are perfected, then we can post an image into the search bar and find all of the old videos and thumbnails of wives, daughters, and girlfriends who match the photo from their mixers, Vegas weekends, and spring break trips when they blew a guy (and his frat brothers) on camera while too drunk to know it. That will be fun. And just think about all of the latch-key kids enrolled with us whose parents were out working to 7,8,9 at night to pay for our endowment bloating tuition while little Cameron, Connor, and Brittany were playing ‘pound a hole’ on the couch with the new Hi-Def on ‘autoplay’. Oh, I can’t wait to see those videos!!!!! Embrace the media age, people, the fun is just beginning.

I hope that Yale does the right thing and kicks him out. If he graduates, it will be a black mark on the university’s reputation. He should AT LEAST be required to do 500 hours of community service.

This is great. At the least this guy had the nerve to think outside the box. I can see great leadership potential here. I would hire him.

i recruit for Investment Banks in Sydney and i know that if that guy lived and worked in this market he would have to move interstate to get away from beer bottles being thrown at him fo being such a complete dickhead .applying making it sound like UBS needs a self serving moron like that working for them. they need people who are actually smart enough to know they dont need to take the “im good at everything” angle to get a look-in. what a fag. i cannot believe he actually went to all that effort, like did he actually think that shit woul work? my goodness that is incredible. were they gonna call him straight away and want to see him for an IV that afternoon? how can one person be such a freaking idiot!
