Unrecognizable

Less pun and chuckle in today's edition – but some excellent jobs nonetheless. Happy clicking!

The DCI Group provides campaign-style public affairs and issue management support to corporate and association clientele. And, they apparently need some more folks on the team:
Chief of Staff always has a nice ring to it. In this case, the CoS opportunity is for a NoVa-based nationally-recognized marketing pioneer who doesn’t want to be recognized in his/her/their ad.

Not DC-based – but we thought that some forward-thinking web pro out there might be interested in the Search Strategy Manager (search job # 8603) position with McGraw Hill Construction in Highstown, NJ.

The Hudson Institute touts multiple Intern opportunities – their Center for Global Prosperity Internship notes a Mar. 1 application deadline.

So, it looks like DC is set to get a voting member of Congress. If you’re tapped as the next Legislative Director of the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration, does that mean you’ll be tasked with advocating for something similar for the Commonwealth?

Filcro Media Staffing is helping various clients in these searches:
The National Head Start Association seeks a new Executive Director with the spirited, visionary & passionate qualities to put Head Start programs at the forefront of the national public policy debate.
