cblj_backupSo, you remember when I told ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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!

DC, Admin or Library
Date: 2010-07-29 09:06 pm (UTC)I've just moved to the DC area and when I'm doing what I like I'm a Library Tech/Asst type person. I'm unemployed at the moment, however, and while I have the current month's rent paid, I really need to have a job in my life sooner rather than later. Which is hardly guaranteed in this climate. Even though I've had two interviews within the past week.
So, uh, yeah, I will take pretty much anything in DC that runs to the admin/data entry/whathaveyou end of things and doesn't require a car. Please?
Re: DC, Admin or Library
Date: 2010-07-30 05:23 am (UTC)Have you been checking idealist.org? There are 30 or more nonprofit jobs posted every day. Also if you message me I can send you links to several lefty job lists that might have something good.
And govt jobs take a while to get, but there's lots of temp political work in the meantime.

Date: 2010-07-31 04:09 pm (UTC)Other entry-level political jobs usually pay around $2000/month and include a bit of everything, volunteer wrangling, copying, voter outreach (ie door knocking), etc. There are probably also admin openings. The hours tend to be long though, so it might not work that well if you have other responsibilities.
There's also politemps - which has political temp jobs. And I have several friends who got permanent jobs through temp agencies here.
