So, you remember when I told

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!

Orlando, FL
Currently a Permissions Specialist for a large textbook publisher.
Would like to work as an editor or researcher. Would love to get my feet wet in a library of some sort, since that's what I'm going to grad school for shortly.
Need to make enough to pay my bills.

Probably not enough to pay the bills, but there is this, which closes soon:

I know library people around here - there's very little hiring going on right now, sadly.

Yeah, definitely not at part time. The hard thing about my job is that I'm paid pretty well, so even though it gets me down it's hard to leave. Heh.

I look for positions in the public system and at every local college and university once a week. I haven't seen an actual position on the public site in over a year. I know it's a really tough time to try to get in there.

Thanks. :)

I'm not sure if they're still hiring but:

I think the Orange County System is in a hiring freeze atm though, so you may want to keep an eye on Seminole. I'm starting grad school at USF this August for Library Science, you?

That's a good site to know about, thank you. I don't think I can take anything part time, though.

And yeah, I check for jobs in the public system and at every local university and college about once a week. I haven't seen anything up on the public system site for over a year. I know there are a lot of budget issues right now, so it's not an ideal time to be looking for something like that. I'm just two steps behind sometimes. ;)

I'm currently applying to start at USF in the spring. I'll be doing the Library Science grad program as well, and distance learning.
