Adrianne,

Last night I spoke to two potential candidates for the trading track, Emil Carlsson and Thomas Considine.

Emil is currently tutoring at Hofstra after leaving an option trading position. I would recommend bringing Emil to Houston for further interviews based on his technical knowledge. The biggest drawback was his current situation might show a lack of motivation.

Thomas was working as an equity market maker. He is interested in making a change to a job where he can develop more expertise. He is seeking to develop a better understanding of the market he trades. The trading track would be an excellent match for his desires. I would also recommend bringing Thomas to Houston for further consideration.
