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!

Most of what he needs is content-input and formatting blather, on the coding side of things. It's a teachable skill set, though obviously it's easier to do if you have some experience, and also easier to learn if you're accessible in person, rather than remotely located. There aren't lots of things to do right now, but I'm forwarding all these responses to him and when some of those overwhelming projects start going into production he'll let me know exactly what he needs done. Or maybe come to this thread and see if he's got a job that fits the offers.

Sweet! I can easily handle formatting-type things! I have plenty of basic HTML/CSS experience, but stopped playing with that stuff when I started school again. I'm currently in Austin, but can get around as needed.

Thanks so much!
