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!

allo! I live in Boston, I have a degree from MIT in Comparative Media Studies, i have no idea what to do with it. I've got experience teaching, and I wicked down with web 2.0. My favorite job was working here (http://newmedialiteracies.org/) designing online activities to teach students about digital media literacy skills that let them talk about and understand what they do online from a more meta and academic perspective.

I'm really good at organizing things, and my friends keep suggesting I should be an event planner, or be a distributed personal assistant for well-paid geeks. I write well, I am very outgoing and extroverted, I have some video editing skills. I've learned java and python at various points, but it's rusty now. I'm considering picking up ruby on rails. My professors always said I was good at media analysis, but I don't know what to do with that.

What should I do with myself? :-)
