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!

If anyone is looking for technical type positions, Westinghouse Electric Company (http://www.westinghousenuclear.com) is hiring engineers and technicians (as well as a handful of non-technical related positions; HR, accounting, etc.) Corporate headquarters are outside of Pittsburgh, but there are offices in NH, CT, SC, Chicago, San Jose, TN, and others (including international). Nuclear power is a fast-growing industry, with Westinghouse at the front of the global nuclear renaissance.

PR type stuff aside, Westinghouse is a fun place to work, and one of the few places that's hiring and not firing--and hiring people with little to no work experience, as well.

Westinghouse is also owned by Toshiba, so if even if you can manage to find a position that isn't super technical, if you have any interest in Japan you might be able to use this as leverage for a future job with international travel. (At least from my outside perspective I meet a lot of Toshiba people who are involved in Westinghouse, and vice versa.)
