See My Temporary Life On YouTube

Now, we would never advocate spending 4 minutes of your workday watching a funny YouTube video, but in this case, we’ll make an exception…because WE made the video.  Now playing on Spherion’s YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=spheriontheweb) is our new original Web video series, My Temporary Life, an over-the-top comedy about nightmare temp assignments, hardly Scorcese-caliber but will certainly have you laughing (at least we think so).  After 50 years of finding people jobs, we think we’re pretty good at it. Now, we thought we’d try our hand at entertaining them as well.

The Spherion channel also contains our favorite user-created workplace videos shot at the office or for the office.  Create and upload your own workplace video and we’ll add it to our channel. Or better yet, send us your worst workplace horror story and we may use it as an episode of My Temporary Life.
