Stephen Colbert Helps the Economy!

Colbert's spot on his website is one step up from the weblink marathons that so many job applicants encounter. Tired of being referred to a web page by a web page when you need real help?

Yes, he's done it. Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central fame, has probably just done more to help the economy than most politicians. He's actually had the guts to recommend someone for a job!

Well, then send Colbert's reference on to the web application that requested you fill out their stinkin' forms 96 times without even getting a rejection email!
A big fan of the show, I can't help but endorse The Colbert Report's humorous move. It shows, through comedy, what a lot of us really need: a chance to cut through the bull and get on down to brass tacks with a face to face interview or maybe even, gasp, a face to face rejection, during the job search process.
I don't know about you, but if I had ever received a candid, face to face rejection, that business would be a step up in my book.
So, next time you receive a crass dismissal through ignoring, remember your reference from the Colbert Report. And, maybe consider it in that next month's round of re-completing employment applications.
