An object lesson in CareerBuilder (and other job-sites) and job-freshness:

• Walgreens – Director of Federal Government Relations – CareerBuilder puts an Oct. 8 date on this listing – note Req ID 000232
• Search the same job via the Walgreens Corporate site (enter job 000232 or DC location) and you’ll see a Sept. 3 birthday for this opportunity. It may or may not still be worth sending Walgreens your CV – but you should know that CB, Monster, the Washington Post and other sites recycle older postings and put new dates on them. Maybe we're just peeved that we missed this job the first time around.

The AFL-CIO Center for Green Jobs is understandably happy about $4 billion allotted for Federal job creation funding – and you should be happy to take them up on their offer to fund you to the tune of $99k per annum as a Senior Clean Energy Policy Analyst.

We would normally save this for a far-flung-Friday listing, but we would hate to see your resume at the back of the line for the Director of Government Affairs opportunity with the San Diego Association of Realtors.

Closer to home, we bring you this media-oriented Senior Public Affairs Associate job at the neat-looking headquarters of the National Association of Realtors.
