MEET BILLY BAILEY

摘要

William (Billy) Bailey's persistence paid off when the finance major graduated from the University of Alabama into the rocky job mo.rket of 2009—but it took time. Seeking a position in the area of investment management, he interviewed with T. Boone Pickens' BP Capital LLC in Dallas, which operates energy commodity and equity funds in addition to managing Pickens' private-equity investments. He met with Pickens, the legendary founder of Mesa Petroleum, and BP's 10-member investment team, but there were no positions available at the time.
