Rebecca Jarvis' CNBC Bio Irks Donald Trump

The New York Post's Page Six reports that Donald Trump is mad at CNBC reporter Rebecca Jarvis for leaving his "The Apprentice" — which Jarvis appeared on, and which Trump credits for launching her career — out of her official CNBC bio.

Page Six reports that Trump wrote Jarvis a letter about the omission:

"In your very nice . . . bio, which airs on CNBC, many facts are mentioned about you, some very unimportant," Trump wrote to Jarvis. "But the only thing you don't mention is that you were on 'The Apprentice,' which is the sole factor leading to your job at CNBC. How quickly we forget." A CNBC flack said: " 'The Apprentice' got Rebecca a courtesy interview, but her intelligence, determination and background in both journalism and investment banking got her everything else."

The 27-year-old Jarvis' official bio focuses on her work and educational experience, but does, as Trump notices, omit the show:

To her reporting, Jarvis brings hands-on business experience in both investment banking and foreign currency trading. As an investment banker with Banc of America Securities, she analyzed and advised $6 billion in mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt transactions. Prior to that, she executed interest rate trades on Citigroup's foreign exchange desk in London.

Jarvis left financial services to pursue a career in journalism and has written for publications ranging from Crain's Chicago Business to Business 2.0. She is currently a governor on the board of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers.

Jarvis graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in Economics and Law, Letters & Society. A recipient of the University of Chicago Dean's Grant, she also studied European banking and financial markets at the Universitė Sciences Po and Dauphine Universitė in Paris, France.

Poor chap, couldn't get to this one. She not cold, hungry, desperate, willing or interested in an old man who needs his name on everything to make himself feel better. No matter what he buys, sells, puts his name on or manhandles, deep down he knows no one really wants to know him, and find it very easy to forget him.

[DKLabRat]

You know, someone really ought to tell that man that that dead cat he has on his head looks less than attractive.

Behind the scenes he probably tried to seduce her and she turned him down. He's still stinging from it. How dare she..? Most women over look his lack of beauty and close their eyes and think about the money while he has his way with them..she wasn't having it. Good for her.

[democratUSA]

Yes, Donald, a woman can better herself without you! Duh.

[Artos]

I can't believe that Trumps ego is that frail, that he is so in need of recognition, from even something as small as a mention in someones resume. I thought a man so "Powerful' was without such weaknesses. Apparently not.

[duze]

Yes, Sir, a woman did something to make herself successful, it didn't have anything to do with you. She probably didn't mention your name because it was unworthy of all she has done for herself. Your show was waaaaaaaay beneath her anyway. I suggest you use the same glue on your ego that you do on your wig, it's just that fragile.

Aaaaww... cmon Donald...??

Don't you have more important things to do... running that Empire of yours..?

Yeah... she's 'Cute & Pretty', but she not Interested in You. Get over IT!
Besides..... You are Married.

I"m surprised you would put Bank of America or Citi on a resume.

[gpsl]

With an education and work history like hers, I would think that Jarvis would be embarrassed to mention the Trump-Apprentice connection.

[dizzypdx]

My feelings exactly. Who would want to be associated with him at all? Unless he's paying you alimony.

[AndyDandy]

She's too embarased to mention that she was in a reality show which is understandable because most proud ppl would be.

[CindyKay]

He is just mad that she wasn't one of those women that fawn over him & his money.

She was right to not mention his show because job the interview was about Her not Trump.

[jojojo]

Oh Donnie, Shut Up!

[RobertAndropolis]

We'll chopper you out of here good buddy.

[solarian]

who watvhed the show. to he is just a slim ball

[johnnynyc]

That's easy for you to say!!

[captainindustry]

ha!!! loved it.

Every time you type the words "Donald Trump" , "The Apprentice", or "You're fired" your computer automatically transfers $1500 from your account to Donald's.

Also, be careful with "bad hair day." In the wrong context, it might cost you $350.

[owltattoo]

He is so smarmy.

[Harrier]

I agree with Trump. CitiBank was the most corrupt of the banks and she would not have done anything more without him. Her career was ruined.

[CindyKay]

She didn't work for Citi Bank , She worked for Bank of America

[VOTER]

Her resume:

" Prior to that she executed interest rate trades on CITIGROUP'S
foreign exchange desk in London."
