My Fab15 for the week

1. VIDEO – Is this too controversial for HR? (Umm… not sure, but its too hot to post here. It was the nudity and bondage scene that did it for me.) Watch at your own risk! 2. Your ad is the shiznit fo-shizzle. 3. Let’s hear it for Joe The Plumber 4. Ummm… Okay, how do you apply for the job? 5. Discrimination, assessment centers, and handshakes 6. PeopleClick and AIRS? 2 great tastes that taste great together?  7. The number of U.S. jobs paying a poverty-level wage increased by 4.7 million between 2002 and 2006.  8. Addressing 401K concerns in a downturn  9. Its the economy, stupid!  10. Supreme Court to hear key employment cases


11. McCain Tops Obama in Poll of HR Executives 12. The World’s Top Fifty Life Sciences Companies in 2008 13…. some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue. 14. Maybe you can’t make money doing what you love 15. Is aging an issue or an advantage? 15.5. YouTube an effective college recruiting tool, just not for kids
