This is, most likely, not the way you want to go into a job interview. Wait… This is definitely not the way you want to go into a job interview. That’s what I meant to say. In preparation for your interview with us, make sure you don’t do any of these things. However, with this guy’s resume, he wouldn’t have to worry about that step in the process anyway…
Enjoy your weekend!
Happy Friday, working people of Los Angeles (and by “working people,” I’m including those seeking employment–it’s a full-time job too). Hope you are all enjoying your morning, ready to have a productive Friday and a great weekend. If you’ve seen Caddyshack and Inception (heck, even the Inception trailer will do), then you should like this mash-up trailer from the good folks at TAUNTR.
“My enemy is an animal…”
Happy Friday, everybody.

You’ve gotta give it up to GEICO and The Martin Agency. They keep bringing simple, memorable, humorous spots to TV/Internet. Between the Cavemen, the gecko, and these new animal-inspired ads, they know what they are doing when it comes to building a brand name and building up brand equity.
If you haven’t seen them, here are a few of these ads. Enjoy these while on break…
Woodchucks
Little Piggy
Octopus
Happy Friday the 13th. Hope you have survived it so far without any bad luck. Here are some links from around the “creative world,” courtesy of Marina Del Rey, California-based recruiting/staffing agency Eleventh Hour.
By now, you’ve probably heard about or seen news coverage of the JetBlue flight attendant, Steven Slater, who famously quit his job after a flight a profanity-laced tirade over the PA and an exit down the plane’s emergency slide and onto the airport tarmac.
But if you haven’t…as featured in today’s Rundown LA, here is a Taiwanese CGI version of the incident:
But it’s not all fun and games (be on the lookout for the Turtle from Entourage stand-in)…
Even though some are hailing Slater as a working class hero, there is no denying that he has created major problems for himself, both legally and professionally. Fame is fleeting. He’s soaking it up now, but his future may not be looking so bright. (However, there will no doubt be some sort of book deal and an interview circuit… So it goes.) Despite whatever stress he endured, no matter how unjust, this is no way to quit a job. We can all be entertained by it in the short-term, but in the long-term, no bueno.

For those of you who understand the draw of Shark Week (represented here in NSFW graphs), apparently it’s a big event for you and the Discovery Channel. People seem to love it. Here are the top-10 shark attacks posted on Discovery’s website. Scary stuff.
Here’s a little taste (no pun intended…or maybe it was):
Sharks in San Diego?
The dog days of summer are upon us. It’s hot. It’s a slow time in sports (although, go Dodgers). “The industry” is slow. It’s vacation time. But creativity never takes a break. In fact, vacations are usually very inspiring. So before you take off, check out these links from around the “creative world,” courtesy of boutique recruiting/staffing agency, Eleventh Hour:
Have a good remainder of the summer, people!
Today’s Rundown LA features a guide on the right way to do next weekend’s Charlie Saikley 6-Man Volleyball Tournament on the south side of the Manhattan Beach Pier. For those of you who don’t understand how a volleyball tournament can be so much fun, this picture will offer 1,000 words, which is still not enough to describe the good time to be had…
If you are in the area, you should definitely consider participating in some manner. And consider checking out The Rundown’s guide to maximize the potential of your day. And, also, tell everybody there about Eleventh Hour…but in the most professional way possible at a beach full of inebriation and sand volleyball.
Here are some great links brought to you by Marina del Rey-based boutique recruiting/staffing agency Eleventh Hour. You heard about that one movie called Inception?

Aaron Sorkin has been named to direct the John Edwards film, based on the book, “The Politician: An Insider’s Account of John Edwards’s Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has acquired the rights to the Andrew Young book about former presidential candidate John Edwards, “The Politician: An Insider’s Account of John Edwards’s Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down.”
A TV and film mainstay, Sorkin will make his feature directorial debut with the project, which he will also write and produce.
Young first volunteered for the Edwards Senate campaign in 1998 and eventually became one of the North Carolina pol’s most trusted confidants. During the 2008 presidential primary, Edwards began making unethical demands of Young relating to the candidate’s mistress and her child with him.
Should be an interesting film. I wonder if Aaron Sorkin will go easy on him since he supported the WGA writer’s strike… Probably not.
