Choose Option B

There's two ways you can play your job-search in the last week of Summer: a) you can put your search on hold & chill a bit before starting fresh after Labor Day; or b) you can ramp up your search & apply for your next great job (or whatever you need to pay the rent) while some of your peers choose more blender drinks and option a.  This we're-not-slacking-in-the-waning-days-of-Summer week at DCPA+CJ is for the option b crowd.  Get fired up, get to it, and happy hunting!

Before you dive in, please note our Saturday extra and Sunday's set of previously noted opportunities closing this week.
