Many students are determined to find new ways to make money, but caution must be taken when considering a new line of employment. Allow the mistakes of others to teach a lesson about what not to do when starting a new job. Today’s lessons: How to properly rob a bank. 1. According to an article published by The Deseret News, “Let these three when Todd Markham lessons help you spoke with the teller at a bank in Murray, in your back-toUtah, in August, he school job search; showed the teller a whatever it may note demanding cash. Markham was robbing be.” the bank. But rather than using a blank piece of paper, Markham wrote his demands on the back of a drug-screening receipt. The teller was able to take down Markham’s name, social security number and date of birth. Markham walked out of the bank with a bag of cash, but was met by the police when he arrived home. If Markham had merely invested a few cents in a new piece of paper, he could have gotten a large return on his investment. Don’t be afraid to invest a little money in order to get results. 2. For our next lesson, we go to West Valley City, Utah, where a young man learned a great lesson on how to dress for success. According to ABC News, a man in his 20s walked into a bank and announced he was robbing it, as he held up a semi-automatic handgun and showed his face to the security camera. He escaped with a small amount of cash. Police have been circulating the man’s photo and description gained from the security footage. Police said he was wearing a black hoodie, black gloves and had bad acne. Here we learn to dress for the occasion: when going to an interview, look the part by dressing formally – a suit or skirt and blouse would do. Try to match the attire of those that are doing the interview. When robbing a bank, a hoodie may be in order so that police cannot identify and humiliate you by labeling you as the robber with bad acne. That’s just embarrassing. 3. And last, but not least, is an old adage that says, “A man is only as good as his tools.” The Deseret News reported that Albert Martin, 61, walked in a bank located in Salt Lake City and announced that he was robbing the bank while he waved his gun in the air. He said if they filled a bag with money, no one would get hurt. Martin’s problem was that his gun was fake. He was bluffing the whole time. But a bluff only goes so far: Martin was arrested for aggravated assault.
