(the guy you just talked to) Below I've pasted the text of your brief interview/profile blurb for the Enron recruiting web site. It consists of a main section and a short "callout quote" to be set apart from it, maybe in a different typeface. Please review it ASAP, and reply to this email, either approving it as is (which I would love) or listing any changes that I need to make. NOTE: Please list any changes separately, rather than editing the text directly. I ask that you focus on looking for any errors of fact, revelations of proprietary information, statements that will genuinely make someone look bad, or other such serious problems. The informal style and tone, the general content, and the length have all been predetermined, and they need to match all the other blurbs we're doing for the site. So I'd ask that you not focus on those issues or change those parameters, and that you avoid doing any wholesale rewriting unless you think it's absolutely unavoidable. Please be brave! Keep in mind that whole platoons of Enron communications and legal specialists will review and edit everything carefully before the public ever sees it. And of course, since this will appear only in web format, even after it "goes live" it will never really be permanent. Thanks for all your help! --Tony TEXT IS BELOW: John Lavorato Managing Director (trading and risk management) Enron North America I started in Calgary in 1995, building our Canadian natural gas and electrical power trading operation from scratch, and I left as president. It was absolutely awesome. I had the time of my life. I hired the people I wanted, with very little supervision, back when gas and power trading was in its infancy, and today we're the biggest market maker and risk manager there. These days, as many people know, we're using that same expertise to create liquid markets in many other products, from broadband capacity to paper pulp. So our newer people still have the chance to do what I did in Canada-to help build revolutionary new businesses. But what some people might not realize is that even in our established gas and power trading operations-where we're by far the dominant player-it's hugely interesting and complicated, with a million variables to figure out, from the weather to the available storage capacity in Montana. You can't ship natural gas and power on a truck or store them in a warehouse like other commodities. And it's not like trading bonds, where you sit around waiting for the Fed. If you like solving incredibly complex problems, and you're very good at it ... get down here! We need you! Enron's not a place where you can hide-or where you'll be hidden. If you can't get it done, you won't fit in. But if you can, and you work hard, you'll get noticed, you'll excel, you'll get paid, and we're going to love you.
