Question of the Week
Rushad Pavri
Issue date: 12/4/06 Section: QOTW
Question: What's the one ice-breaker you've been dying to use at a corporate event?
1. How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice.
2. Who's the last person you slept with?
3. I could revolutionize your firm.
4. Is it just me or do these events always suck?
5. How many BBAs did you do when you were at Ross?
6. How did you REALLY get this job?
7. What is that smell?
8. I plan on wearing my high school basketball warm-up suit and bringing my basketball. I'd tell all the recruiters that I'm going out for the team and we have practice right after the event. This shows my willingness to push myself and take on any challenge. Plus, I really look good in sweatpants.
9. Boxers or briefs?
10. Is that mayo on your chin?
11. Hey baby, are you wearing space pants? Cuz you're out of this world!
12. So which section are you in?! Oh you're a recruiter!
13. So, anyone wanna go streaking through the Quad to the gymnasium?
14. So, do you come here often...?
15. How do you feel about Britney & Kevin's split?
16. Is that corporate schwag in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
17. I was hoping to meet the hot recruiter, but I guess you'll do.
18. Honestly, do you really believe all this bullsh!t or are you drinking the Kool-Aid too?
19. For investment banking - asking a big bank with a retail arm: "If I work for you do I get free checking?"
20. So...is investment banking more of a science or an art? (Someone told me it's already been used by an ignorant sophomore).
21. So, what's this about your latest corporate scandal of backdated options? Any kickbacks coming your way?
22. Hi my name is Joe. What... is your name? What... is your quest? What... is your favorite color? What... is the capital of Assyria? What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
23. If she's hot, then, "How YOU doin'?" Otherwise, "Hahahaha....that's a great story. Hi, I'm *insert name*, and I was wondering if you could tell me about some of your past projects..."
24. So, what do you plan to do when you quit?
25. You look like you've been around longer than your company.
26. START A FOOD FIGHT.
