who’s who on AF will carry heftier baller status - someone please put it together
I’ve already seen someone put in his resume under “Interets”: Finance message board contributor
I had an intern applicant put, “Uses Bloomberg iPhone app”

If you are sorting through undergrad intern applicants for an invesment firm the fact that someone is following Bloomberg news on a frequent basis (which is the implication of their comment I assume) is a positive. Most CVs you get will probably be full of similarly intentioned comments like ‘keen interest in investments’, ‘have read X, Y, Z famous investment commentators’ etc.

It’s a very large book and database, where people who have some kind of achievements can pay to be listed as impressive. It started as “Who’s Who in America” which was an officialization of the informal social registers around the country, and then they started to segment their markets “Who’s Who in Medicine,” Law, etc… So I guess they’ve run out of segments, and figure that High Schoolers now deserve a social register. Or at least will pay for one. See: http://www.marquiswhoswho.com/listees/publications
Am familiar with Who’s Who. Stretching the concept a tad far to extend it to High School Students…
