So, you remember when I told [livejournal.com profile] snaxcident about webinars and she told her boss and all hell broke loose?

We were talking about it the other day while she cursed the name of Webinar, and I said, "I have to ask, though, are the webinars at all productive? Are they bringing in new clients or at least new contacts?"

She made many frowny faces at me but said, "Unfortunately for me they have an incredible ROI - they are generating lots of leads, especially in the states. We hired an event manager to manage our webinars because they became so popular."

This means I literally talked a job into existence. I have created employment for someone! Let's hold onto that magic.

Let's have a SAM'S CAFE JOB FAIR.

The job fair is simple!

Leave a comment about where you are and what you do and what kind of work you're looking for (use your own good common sense about how much personal info to share). If you're looking to hire, know someone who is, or have resources to share, feel free to post those too!

I'll kick it off: I don't have many general jobsearch bookmarks anymore, but if you're looking for Not For Profit Jobs, there's a place to start.

Have at it!

ETA: Comments have been locked due to spammerz. Sorry guys!

Yay, job fair!

I just graduated and moved to the SF Bay area and I need anything entry-level. Really, anything! I have a Bachelor's degree in International Business and a separate one in Classics.

I'm also bilingual English/French.

Welcome to the Bay Area! UC Berkeley jobs get listed here:

http://jobs.berkeley.edu/

Don't know how close you are to Berkeley, though; the SF Bay area could be as much as an hour commute away!

I'm in Berkeley but I was under the assumption that work at the university would be more than I was qualified for. I'll have a look though, thanks!

Acumen, LLC is hiring in Burlingame, CA is hiring. Burlingame is about a 30 minute commute from SF by car, and you can even do a bike/caltrain combo commute if you lack wheels. If you have strong writing skills and an interest in public policy, it might be a good match for you. http://www.acumenllc.com/careers/default.html

Hm, interesting. Thank you! I do not have a car so I appreciate the advice about public transit.

Well then welcome to Berkeley! :) I don't live there but I work on campus. PM me here if you'd like more info...I don't have any jobs open, nor am I a fount of knowledge about jobs, but I'm happy to meet up and talk.

Thank you, that's kind! I'll probably take you up on that.

Is it okay if I add you? (Full disclosure: I'm kind of boring and don't update much.)

Sure, but full disclosure, I used to not do much but now I'm in these "land" comms so I tend to post my silly picspams and stuff on there...but anyway, you can just ignore them!
