Visit these flick sites for a summer triple-feature:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In case you weren’t one of the 225 (give or take) folks who got to attend the “first ever” Social Recruiting Summit, pretend you were there by watching videos of several sessions<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 Choices include:\u00a0 “LinkedIn Networking with Shally Steckerl,” “Online Employer Reputation and Social Recruiting with Shannon Seery Gude,” and “Ubiquity and Authenticity in Social Media with Laurie Ruettimann.”<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In case you don’t have time to troll various sites in search of corporate recruiting videos, find a short (but handy) roundup of YouTube links<\/a> at About.com’s “Job Searching” channel.\u00a0 You can also do your own YouTube search–but let me save you some time:\u00a0 Any<\/em> search string with “recruiting” in it will bring back lots<\/em> of opportunities to join the armed services and\/or play college sports.\u00a0\u00a0 Go with “career opportunities” and “corporate recruitment.”<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In case you want to rummage around for treasures in a big basket of job-related videos<\/a>, stop by the Video Job Shop.\u00a0 \u00a0And for a real treat (it’s honestly hypnotic) check out some of the one-minute career overviews stored in the VJS Library<\/a>.\u00a0 No matter what you ever wanted to be, you can watch a video about it:\u00a0 Choreographer, Bindery Worker, Glassblower, Psychiatrist, Railroad Yardmaster, Paleontologist, Able Seaman, Fine Artist, Coroner, Nuclear Engineer, Drywall Installer, CEO . . .<\/p>\n

There haven’t been any Hollywood blockbusters (yet) about corporate recruiting, but if you want to include a \u00a0big screen business classic in your festival–Forbes<\/em> came up with a list of The Ten Greatest Business Movies<\/a>:\u00a0 Citizen Kane, Wall Street, The Insider, Network,<\/em> and six more. \u00a0\u00a0Business Pundit’s more adventurous list<\/a> offers up fifty choices, including charmers (Baby Boom, In Good Company, Working Girl<\/em>); thrillers (The Game, Antitrust, Disclosure<\/em>); satires (The Hudsucker Proxy, The Coca-Cola Kid, Barbarians at the Gate<\/em>); documentaries (The Corporation, Salesman<\/em>); serious stuff (Glengarry Glenn Ross, The Boiler Room<\/em>); and some surprises (All About Eve, Once Upon a Time in the West<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Missing from both lists are two of the all-time best biz-flicks:\u00a0 the intelligent corporate soap opera Executive Suite <\/em>(1954), <\/em>and the sly, smart farce The Wheeler Dealers<\/em> (1963).\u00a0 If you haven’t seen them, now’s the time.<\/p>\n

Summer’s just getting started!<\/p>\n
