Security Guard to M&A?

Yo everybody,

I work as a security guard at a top-tier BB (think GS/MS) and I want to make the switch to M&A. Here are my qualifications:

Education:
Borough of Manhattan Community College (2000), Major: Criminal Justice (what what!!), GPA: 1.7

Professional Experience (2003-present):
Top-Tier BB (think GS/MS) - Night Shift Patrolman
Responsibilities included staying up late at night and patrolling the building, guarding the vault that held money, guarding the investment banking division from intruders.
Notable experience included physically restraining an angry deliveryman with brute force after he started yelling at an investment banking employee for making him wait; playing with the computer program with a blank sheet with boxes all over it (65,000 of them vertically! I counted).

Riker's Island Prison (2000-2003):
Served as an inmate for armed assault. Was released early for good behavior and because I aided the guards in suppressing a violent uprising.
References: Sammy "The Bull"

I think I will be a good fit for this job because I can work late at night, I can do lots of math (1+9 = 10, 8*7 = 56; 100/1000 = 0.10000000), I am skilled with calculators, I have a "go git them" personality, I can beat spider solitaire at the computer within 40 minutes of pressing "Start," I'm familiar with lots of money (since I've guarded plenty before), I hang out with investment bankers on the job, I survived prison, I think finance and money are awesome and I possess a significant amount of weapon skills.

What do you guys think? I was planning on approaching HR and submitting my resume right there to them. How do my chances look?
