WELCOME TO THE SAM'S CAFE JOB FAIR, where our motto is "Being unemployed is some bullshit. Give me a job."

We are disorganized, but that's excellent preparation for life!

Basically, the idea is to bring all three thousand of us together in an orgy of job-seeking. We ask for advice and give advice and network without all the really gross slimy bits of networking.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A JOB...leave a comment! Tell us what you're looking for and where, and what your qualifications are, to the degree that you're comfortable.

IF YOUR PLACE OF WORK IS HIRING...leave a comment! Tell us what the job is and where, and what kind of person you're looking for, again, to the degree that you're comfortable.

Feel free to post anonymously if you wish, especially if you're linking to a resume or LinkedIn and don't want your screen name associated with your facetime identity.

Make sure you also read the comments, in case a match is out there waiting for you, or a colleague in your field has also commented and could be a good connection. If you have questions about applying for jobs or interviewing or anything career-related, ask! If you have some awesome advice to give, now's the time to share it!

If you're curious about how this has worked before, you can check out the previous two, and you may want to have a look at the Job Advice Sub-Thread snaxcident started last time.

Have at it, and keep checking back!

NANNY or PRESCHOOL TEACHING position, FT

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

I know I'm rather late but it can't hurt to ask!

I have a B.S. in English and Child Development with an emphasis in helping children to develop their language skills both written and spoken. I've been teaching preschool for the last seven years, but would love to either make an actual living wage at it or work with smaller groups of children. I come with glowing references from professors of child development, the director of my preschool, and several former part-time nanny clients.

I currently live in Utah but am willing to move pretty much anywhere in the U.S.

I love my kids. I pay close attention to their needs and learning patterns, and I am very good at disguising great learning opportunities as really awesome playtime. I'm an amazing storyteller, a reasonably healthy and competent cook (with a LOT of experience in cooking for specialised diets/avoiding allergens, if you/your child has special requirements), and willing to do light-to-medium housework (I can't steam-clean your carpets, but I scrub toilets cheerfully).

Bonuses that I can't really put on an official resume: I'm very, very good at hanging out with geeks and raising children who, at the very least, find other things than geekiness in their parents about which to be embarrassed. I'm wide-open-minded about people's personal choices, and would ESPECIALLY love to become part of a gay or gay-friendly family (well, because I'd like to be able to talk about my girlfriend.)

There are an abundance of teaching jobs in Albuquerque, NM right now. A wave of teachers just retired, so there are something like 60+ open positions right now across APS. I think they're all posted on the web.
