Its made out of resumes
And when the economy's ready
Then recruiting dreidel I shall place!

Comment by Susan Burns on December 17, 2008 at 7:27pm: ohhh the talent! You guys are good!

dreidel, dreidel dreidel
I made you out of connections
when your voices come together
you light the pages of RecruitingBlogs.com

ok, it doesn't rhyme but its true!

Now we need some Kwanzaa rhythm!!

Comment by Steve Levy on December 17, 2008 at 7:39pm: Burns, with rhymes like yours, are you sure you aren't a shiksa?

Comment by Claudia Faust on December 17, 2008 at 7:51pm: I'd pay to see that... Steve, u da musical MAN. Sing it on video, baby!

Comment by Susan Burns on December 17, 2008 at 7:54pm: Steve - they didn't teach rhyming in Hebrew School but I dropped out in 3rd grade so maybe that happens in 4th grade ;-)

Comment by Steve Levy on December 17, 2008 at 8:14pm: I've been planning for recording the video by coming up with special props for each day. Try to imagine what I've be using as I sing YOUR verse... [evil laugh]

Comment by Susan Kang Nam on December 17, 2008 at 9:44pm: very nice cute and creative Steve :)

Comment by Slouch on December 17, 2008 at 9:48pm: You know steve, if you want we can have a time each day and we can stream you singing. I'll put a ustream box dead center and at that time, you can show up and sing. certainly not as exciting as learning how to get past a gatekeeper or how to get what you want without lying to a gatekeeper or learning how to say this is who I am and this is what I do so please tell me what I want to know but at least it will be remembered by at least 10 people for a very long time. what do you think. You pick the time, grab a webcam and I'll be waiting.
