The Big Questions, Unanswered

Can GeoEye really see the junk in your backyard you've been meaning to get rid of?  Where do British diplomats like to go? Will Montgomery College be placed the Leaders or Legends division? Do you like tea? How clean was your room as a child?  These questions, and more, in your run-up-to-the-holiday edition of DCPA+CJ.

The nosey, peek-into-your-back-yard satellite imagery crew at GeoEye have a Senior Admin Assistant post available in the McLean offices.

Business savvy visionary with senior management experience sought for CEO, Council of Residential Specialists opportunity with the National Association of Realtors at their Chicago, IL HQ.

We stopped reading when ITT/Excelis started talking about the execution of a holistic internal and external strategic communications plan – Manager, IGSS/EI Communications – Herndon, Va. or Fort Wayne, IN

George Mason University
You may better know security & training outfit Academi by their previous incarnations as Blackwater or Xe Services, which may add a layer of complexity, challenge and perhaps reward to your work as Director of Communications there.

Gannett/USA Today
Montgomery College – the next target for Big 10 or PAC 12 expansion, probably – seeks Electronic Communications Content Manager – $55k-$75k – apply by Dec. 3

“Cleaning institute?  Boy, do they have the wrong person!”  That’s what your Mom will probably say when you announce your move joining the soap-making, grime-slaying gang at the American Cleaning Institute as a Government Affairs Coordinator.

Sibley Hospital – Public Relations Assistant – we’re already jealous of your lovely, relaxed Palisades/Spring Valley location

Not really in our usual wheelhouse here, but we’re happy to nonetheless pass on this Associate Athletic Director for Business Operations post at the University of Virginia – $95k-$135k – also lovely Charlottesville, Va. location, of course.

Whatever your holiday plans, DCPA+CJ hopes whatever travel challenges, family functioning, feasting, and football watching you have on the menu works out well.  Our Friday publishing plans are as of now undetermined, so we'll see you when we see you.
