Always good for a laugh, Gawker.com had a post on Friday afternoon from Craig’s List, purportedly from a woman so desperate for a job with a hedge fund that she was offering to perform certain ’services’ to secure such a position…
Gawker provided this Craig’s List entry:
Blowjob for Hedge Fund Help – w4m – 23
I am 23 years old; I have a BS, I am attractive, intelligent, hard working, but unemployed. If you can help me with an entry level job at a top hedge fund, i will provide you with a discreet blowjob every now and then. I am not interested in charity work, nor am I a prostitute or looking for a boyfriend or a sugar daddy. I need to pay rent in the big city and I am interested in succeeding in the hedge fund universe. I will work hard to prove my worth, however I just need help getting my foot in the door. If you can help me, shoot me an e-mail with your Company name and your position. It is my intention to keep this on the DL.
Either that post proved so popular from the number of hits generated by Gawker, or she got already got a job since the post was removed from the Craig’s List site….
So, given that the market has been trading in a narrow band all day and we were totally bored, we decided to poke around Craig’s List to see what other exciting ads we could find. We found the following, among others:
mwm seeks mwf for passion and affection - m4w – 40
Date: 2006-01-29, 11:27AM EST
Highly intelligent hedge fund owner 6′2" 175, brown hair blue eyes, postgraduate degrees and above all very decent and with a great sense of humor–sometimes irreverant but always with charm–seeks passion, affection, and discretion from mwf that bright, in shape and slim-slendor, and good natured and who wants more out of life than a prosaic marriage, I am not looking for a one night stand. this is in or around manhattanno — it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
Is this really what a "highly intelligent hedge fund owner" has to resort to to get some action???
