'Idol' is most-discussed at work

Big surprise: "American Idol" is the most talked about television show in the workplace. The popular TV show has held the honor for three years now, according to a Spherion Workplace Shapshot survey.

"Dancing with the Stars" holds the second spot, followed by "Lost," "CSI," and "Grey's Anatomy." My favorite, "The Office," is at No. 6.  For the full list, see the Spherion press release.

I wouldn't be surprised if "Idol" watchers talk more about Paula Abdul's wackiness than any of the show's contestants.

Aside from the singing, the show can teach viewers some interesting lessons about personal branding and self-presentation that can help a job search.  Check out this helpful article on how to interview like an "Idol."

    I do talk about Idol at work. Sometimes I even vote. What cracks me up is how many ADULTS watch this show too.
