Friday Funnies

As we compiled the list of resources and blogs that we read regularly for the "What we read" section of this blog (just to the right of the blog postings), we came across this blog entry on the KnowHR Blog titled "Don't hire Joe Cocker for Your HR Communication."

The video, which comes from You Tube (click the link below the screenshot) and features text that attempts to make sense of Cocker's nonsensical singing at Woodstock in 1969, is hilarious.

But the message below the screenshot is a serious one. Your communications need to be clear and concise. Make sure there is no room for misinterpretation of the message you are trying to send to your clients. This is always a good idea, but it's especially true when times are tough and clients and projects are scarce.

Now, excuse me while I kiss this guy. (Those of you who have seen the Page-a-Day calendar on misunderstood lyrics will know what I'm referring to there. If you haven't, think of a certain Jimi Hendrix song.)

Have a great weekend!
