Extending Your Investment Banking Network
If you have graduated from a reputable university, going to investment banking will be easier for you. Getting a banking interview is not hard. However there are some that might have a hard time because the process is not simple. You need to be active so that there is no need for recruiters to schedule you. Build a network that you can rely on in the future. It is good to start to have friends and acquaintances that can schedule you for interview. Use your former classmates because there are few of them that might actually be in the financial industry.

Has American Express Lost Their Mind?
The stock price of American Express is now about three times higher than it was a year ago. Now that they’re flush with cash again, does it mean they’re going to make the same mistakes that got them in trouble in the first place?

February 2009:
American Express was so anxious about the credit crunch, they actually started paying many of their cardholders up to $300 to pay off their balances and cancel their credit cards. They did this for the American Express Blue Cash, Blue Sky, and regular Blue cards.
January 2010:
After paying these cardmembers up to $300 to cancel their accounts, apparently they want them back! Right now they are actively marketing the American Express Blue Cash and American Express Blue Sky cards… the same ones they paid people to get rid of a year ago!
Is this a smart business move or does American Express just have an extremely short memory?

Convenience: online scheduler
Convenience is something we all desire. We keep the things we use often at our desk near by so we do not have to waste time searching for them. Maybe you keep some frozen dinners in the freezer for those nights when you just do not have the time to cook. There are even convenience stores that carry those last minute items we seem to run out of most often. When it comes to your business, your online scheduler must be convenient also. It needs to be user friendly and fairly simple to learn to run. If your appointment scheduling software is not convenient, the chances of you using it are slim.
