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!

Hello!

I have a BA in English and Art and am currently working on certification programs in Marketing and Web Development.

I have five years of experience editing, as well as three years working in a marketing environment, and two years working as a desktop publisher. I also have a variety of admin and graphic design skills.

I am looking for something in Austin, as I've been living here for about three years (my company recently downsized and laid off about 50 of us).

I'm looking for something similar to what I was doing, but I'm open to almost anything (I say almost because I don't want a receptionist-type position, I hate sales, and I don't like cold-calling).
