Better Than a Video Resume…
A few weeks back Dubner blogged about the video resume. Far more effective, it turns out, is the front-page resume.
I have a good friend named Sally. Last week she won a $25,000 prize as “Nurse of the Year.” This week she got laid off!
That made for a great story in the Chicago Sun-Times today.
The new job offers are already pouring in.

I recall that the Freakonomics book popularized the idea that the drop in crime was caused by the legalization and increase in abortions. So I'm curious how you respond to this paper, which as far as I can tell challenges the methodology with led to those findings?

Perhaps the same phenomenon as throngs of people all seeking to adopt an abandoned cat or dog that was featured on the news?

tho it's portrayed as good news/bad news, it's more likely good/good- she'll probably get a higher paying position (hence her refusal to take a cut), with the exact work she wants- RNs in philly write their own ticket due to a nursing shortage, which I presume is nationwide

Laid off? You mean fired?
Same thing happened to me: employee of the year, fired the next.
Ended up better for me! Better off for her too it looks like.

It's interesting that the administrators, who won't be able to evidence their own value, are able to lay off the nurses who aren't able to prove their value either.
