[Answer: very!] Nonetheless, we suggest not bringing up those nuggets in your interview for Director of Communications & Outreach. They’re also in the market for an Admin Assistant/Receptionist.

Chlopak, Leonard, Schechter & Associates, a DC-based communications firm is seeks applicants for mid & senior-level positions. Ideal senior-level candidates should have 8+ years experience (4+ for mid-level) in public affairs, corp./crisis communications, political campaigns or on Capitol Hill.
