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!

For some more access to Harvard jobs contact Spherion staffing http://www.spherion.com/ . They don't have tons right now, but it will pick up soon. They have an office that staff Harvard exclusively.

Also, some acquaintances of mine got retail jobs at the Harvard Coop (which I think is a Barnes and Noble) when other jobs were hard to find. They are sure to hire again as the summer staff leaves and the book orders pick up, and the location in Harvard Sq is easy to reach even if you haven't got wheels of your own. It's definitely a job to tide you over for a while.
A BIG WELCOME to Boston!!!
