I have a first class degree from oxford, am a rhode scholar and am a member of Mensa (98th percentile on IQ test).I have a number of academic and leadership awards and have a number of opportunities presented to me.My question is, am I too good for MBBB and if so where else should I seek employment given my caliber.

I'm not so sure- sounds like he'll fit right in!

well, Gordon Brown's job is up for grabs, so why not stand as an independent member... I'm sure your blend of humility and achievement would win you many hearts and minds... what have you got to lose?

I suggest you write to them and explain your concerns. I am sure they will let you know if you are too high a calibre.

John, thank you for your very public interest in us. I am sorry to say that we would not be interested in you because you are way to far up your own a*s for us even . Blimey, I never thought I would have to reject a candidate for that reason. Anyway, back to running the world.

98th percentile isn't actually that high. Out of a normal class of high school students, including all those who leave without qualifications, you're the guy who comes 2nd or 3rd in the year. In fact it's an IQ of 130 which is 10 behind myself and I don't have the arrogance to put such a post on the forum. I suggest you send your CV to PA. That should be about right.If it is a wind up, please up the game, I have met too many people like the profile you put up to be impressed.

Good point vfv, although Mensa over here typically use the Cattell B scale to determine IQ. You have to be in the 98th percentile to join, so if you just scraped through (scoring 148 on Cattell B), that makes you one of the dumbest people in an organisation of over 100,000 people, (if you believe those tests that is).You don't need to be that bright to spell Rhodes correctly though... lazy trolling.

John this is your subsconsious mind... that distant buzzing noise we thought was a bee? It's the alarm clock.. it's time to wake up now... can't be late again or you'll get fired, and if MacDonalds fires you then Burger King won't want you either...

John please don't listen to Anon. We have a McD rejects retraining programme and are confident we can upskill you to be a key member of our team. Having read your initial post I can confidentally say you would be an easy fit with our stock control role, which requires a brain the size of a planet.

Guys, come on, lets play nice now. John was just asking for some advice, no need to get all nasty now.John, to answer your question, I wouldn't necessarily look right past MBBB. While you are very smart and incredibly talented, you would find that there are a few people in MBBB with your sort of credentials. I suggest you still apply and find if it is still right for you. But with your sort of background I would think that the skies would be the limit for you.

And with a head as bit as his it will need to be.

This is a joke, right? If it's not a joke, even you should be realising just about now what a proper wally you are, or at the very least, appear!

Okay its obvious that there are a lot of people here that are jealous of my talent and intelligence that they have to resort to making fun of this.Anyways, at least one person (als) had the courtesy of writing a proper response. But als, what I would like to know is why should I just "apply" and try to see if its right for me? Like as you say, I am talented, smart, skies the limit for me... convince me then that MBBB is right for me. I have a lot of opportunities in front of me so I want to make sure I make the right choice and will require more hard facts and data to make my decision.

I'm getting a serious sense of deja vu - are you sure we haven't seen you bigging yourself up on the Apprentice before?! If not, Sir Alan is calling....

John, there are a lot of talented and intelligent people on here. The difference between them and you is their lack of arrogance.The reason for a lot of the scepticism is that someone with academic awards would not make spelling and grammatical errors when trying to impress people.Also, a real know-it-all wouldn't have to ask if they were too good for MBBB.

"skies the limit"Dear oh dear indeed.John, it is now clear that this is a wind-up. Please come up with a better blag and revert. And please learn some grammar.

Dear John W,Please edify us by answer the following:1) Which is correct - I brought a drink for £2 or I bought a drink for £2?2) Which is correct - I am pleased to make your acquaintance or I am pleased to make you're acquaintance?Given you calibre/caliber, this should be a breeze.

Isn't Caliber an alcohol free lager.....

Yukk - yes! You must be in the 99th percentile!

Hey hey 99th percentile - way to go me!John W take note - you suck, I rule!

You all suk eym in the 99.11th percentile

Cattell must be in agony in his grave.I think even the MBBs must be cringing. Who is this joker?

Dear John,I am a recruiter at InsultingPoint and have the perfect role for you: king of the world.Reporting directly to God you would lead the human race towards a better world... or destruction (but I'm not in charge of after sales service)Please send an updated CV ASAP

Rakesh I assume that as this role would be reporting to God this is an internal role at InsultingPoint?

This wouldnt have happened at KPMG, not in my time there.. whatever it is that is happening. Did I mention my time at KPMG?

You're a Rhodes Scholar and so not from the UK. Are you not considering careers in your country of origin then?

I would, but sadly Rhodesia no longer exists...

John, given your rather pants spelling I am assuming that you mean you are a 'roads' scholar. So just to be helpful, unlike all these others on here who have just mocked you, I have checked the Highways Agency's website and they are recruiting. Look here http://www.highways.gov.uk/jobs/careers.aspx and all the best with it.

"sadly Rhodesia no longer exists..."the demise of Eugene Terreblanche leaves a promising and high profile vacancy for you to fill. can you ride a horse?

I turned down 2 of the MBB for a job in industry. Truth is, they really dont pay enough to warrant the lifestyle. I earn 6 figures all in now and am 29, would have really had to work hard to do this in MBB as I would have gone in at MBA level.

I am 7 years old, top 99.2 infantile, am a Harvard thingy, double first from Oxford, came top in my SATs. I turned down 8 MBBBs to set up my own parliament.

Smack my b*tch up!

Dear John,I'd say that without a top MBA you're not good enough for MBB.But why not joining a French consultancy? You're certainly arrogant enough to fit with the culture. You could easily become manager at Ineum or Eurogroup. Ok you would feel miserable migrating IT systems for tier-3 banks branches in the countryside. But once back in Paris you'd describe your job as "operational strategy" to impress your friends.Think about it

Hi All,Just wanted to follow up and inform you guys that I have received an offer from MBBB now and they really want to bring me on board. I also have a number of other offers with big blue chip firms in leadership positions as well as in IB and private equity.Convince me why I should go with them.Yours truely,John Wayne

Two words...and it aint well done

Assuming for a minute you are "for real", I'd suggest you not to join an MBBB, you will have a tough time adapting your ego to the work environment there, you will possibly get frustrated and bored quite fast.

I am best job.
