CareerBuilder.com: Monkey Business (Up - Down Profitability)

Monkey Business
I don’t know what it is with monkeys, but they are really making a big hit in the marketing scene. I mean people just love watching monkeys. What’s next is Bud light going to do a commercial of a monkey in a Vick jersey drinking a beer. The animal rights people would be all over that, but then again I guarantee you people would love that commercial. Since we are on the topic is there any major marketing firms that haven’t used monkeys in one of their commercials yet? It doesn’t take much to make an American laugh. In all honesty the adults in this country act like they are four. If I was really out of a job I don’t think I am going to turn to a website that has monkeys burning money and jumping on tables to help me with my unemployment. If they keep showing commercials like that they are going to be in the same boat.
This poor guy is obviously frustrated because he works with a bunch of monkeys and he wants a new job. I don’t care how good CareerBuilder is because when a company sees his resume its only going to be downhill from there. His past experience is going to show that he worked for a company which was run into the ground by monkeys and he is now currently unemployed and seeking a fresh start. My only advice for this guy is I probably wouldn’t try and expand upon the sales approach at my last job because it didn’t exactly get me anywhere, but unemployed.
