He can dance, he can serve a tennis ball at 140mph, he's the CEO of his own investment firm and he even has the power to heal.

But Yale student Aleksey Vayner is today the laughing stock of Wall Street after an unintentionally hilarious video CV he sent to a prospective employer was forwarded to hundreds of people.

Watch the hilarious video CV



And the seven-minute long motivational video is the stuff legends are made of.

Mr Vayner identifies himself in the video, titled 'Impossible Is Nothing', as as a multi-sport professional athlete, the CEO of two companies, and an investment adviser.

The film shows him apparently lifting a 495-pound weight, serving a tennis ball at 140 miles an hour, and ballroom dancing with a scantily clad female. In one cringeworthy scene, he emerges enrobed in a white karate suit and breaks six bricks in one fell swoop.

He also claims he can cure people using his knowledge of Chinese medicine.

After being described in the opening lines of the video as "a model of personal success and development to everybody," Mr. Vayner says, "Failure cannot be considered an option."

In his covering letter to financial services firm UBS AG, he delivers a classic anecdote: "'As a world-level athlete in several sports, I have developed an insatiable appetite for peak performance and continuous learning. My trainer and world martial arts champion often said, "Impossible is just someone's opinion." I live by those words.'
