Best Office Pranks

12 Awesome Office Prank Videos

I found this on Digg this morning.

As long as there have been offices, there have been office pranks. There is just something about spending 8 hours behind a desk or inside a cubicle that awakens the prankster inside us all. And whether it's filling cars with golf balls, turning a cubicle into a miniature house, or making people fall out of their chairs, office pranks are some of the best pranks around! Here are 12 of the funniest office pranks you're likely to see (in no particular order).

My favorites are numbers 1, 2, 6, and 11. Which ones do you like?

Happy Friday!

Fun Clip about Resumes

Employment and Unemployment Frustration

I may have a sick sense of humor 'cause I think these two YouTube clips are funny:

Unemployment by Jason Bentley who’s totally frustrated with his online job search.


Job Frustrated by a woman who’s clearly at the end of her rope with her job.

Happy weekend!

Job Interview Through Kids’ Eyes

Job Interview Gone Wrong is a mock interview performed by two kids. This video is too cute for words.

Office Space Gets Rough

Job Motivation is a funny motivational video (subtitled in Spanish) about office work at Reebok, featuring football player Terry Tate.

Less Is More

When it comes to things we all value, time sits pretty high on the list. We say things like “Time is money” and “It’s not worth my time.”

Because time’s a hot commodity, it makes sense that a resume that takes less time to read is more likely to get read. So, less is more — more effective at grabbing the reader’s attention.

And by using a minimum of words, you’ll be forced to include only the very best stuff. So again, even though you use fewer words, your resume can be more impressive.

This less-is-more concept is used in billboard advertising, where the advertiser uses the fewest and most powerful words possible to grab the attention of passing drivers.

Speaking of billboards, take a peek at Mary Witt Needs a Job, a Fox news clip about a billboard resume. (I don’t recommend this job search technique!)
