... at least that's what one seer-of-digits below would have you believe.  And who are you to doubt that, with fresh job-catch below, as well as previously noted opportunities closing this week and special bonus new listings available here?

The Pew Research Center seeks a 5-years-experiended Communications Associate to utilize media relations, stakeholder engagement, event planning, publications and social media outreach to promote publicize their varied findings.  Also available: Senior Writer/Editor

We also sourced this New York-located Program Coordinator, Office of Environmental Affairs opportunity w/ JPMorgan Chase via the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs job board, where an Oct. 18 deadline is noted for that postion.

We guess it just didn’t work out; at least that’s what the reappearance of a once summer-deadlined opportunity for Director of Public Policy Initiatives with the Association of Research Libraries would have us believe.  Or maybe there’s more than one of those positions at the group, or they just didn't select a candidate the first time.  In any event, the listing now posts a spooky Oct. 31 deadline.
