Tracy Postert, an unemployed Upper Westsider, will no longer be mopping up sidewalks around Zuccotti Park and making sandwiches for her OWS comrades, because she landed a dream job in a Financial District investment firm.   “I never thought I would be doing this,’ Ms. Postert, who has a Ph.D. in biomedical science specializing in pharmacology, was unemployed and had all but given up on finding work in her preferred field of academia when she joined the movement in October.  Her last paying job was as a lab assistant at Touro College making $2,500 for the one semester she worked there, she said. She started out by holding signs that read, “Reagan sucks,” and, “I’ll vote after the revolution.”  But still needing a real job, she made a new sign that read:  “Ph.D. Biomedical Scientist seeking full time employment.  Ask me for my resume.” The sign caught the eye of Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst for John Thomas Financial Brokerage.  While he wasn’t looking to hire, he nonetheless took Postert’s résumé anyway.  That was 10/22, her 10th day as an Occupier. The next day, Kaufman, impressed by her CV, sent her an e-mail asking if she’d like to come for an interview - just 2 blocks from Zuccotti Park at 14 Wall St.  Postert, who's in her 30s and has no background in finance or business, went for the interview and shortly thereafter was offered a job as a junior analyst evaluating medical companies as potential investments. While accepting the position would be painful, practicality won out.  She accepted and will earn a starting salary as a junior analyst at near minimum wage.  In time, however, she can earn a cool six figures, assured Kaufman. Three weeks into her new job, Ms. Postert is already studying for her exams to be a certified financial analyst.   She’s in the office by 8 a.m., and she still has to get used to Kaufman’s rallying cry of “Go! Go! Go!” blaring over the speakers in the morning. CEO Thomas Belesis said he believes Postert will be a great asset.  “She was ranting about Wall Street, and now she’s working on Wall Street. Banks are not so bad. I hope we have opened her eyes,” he said. For the full story, go to:  [NY Post, 12/5/11]
