Nick’s bandmates, who are all gay, are possibly the most offensive of the bunch, obsessing over appearances and failing to display any emotional depth. For a film so concerned with what its characters like, it boggles the mind that Nick and Norah choose such awful friends. But it makes sense given how inconsistent their personalities are.

The participation of 38 consulting firms and 37 finance companies represented a strong presence at the event, though notably absent were major banks including Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, which have attended the career fair in the past. OCS’s interim director, Robin...
