Penultimate

Hello Monday & welcome to the second-to-last edition of DCPA+CJ! We're calling it quits after we post one more set at the end of the week. It's not related to resolving-fine health issues we noted earlier (thanks again for the kind words & good wishes), but rather a recognition that we just spend too much time at a computer as part of this weird-but-satisfying hobby.

We'll have some additional perspective (and more jobs) Friday.  Now, enjoy this mostly direct-to-us set, capped by previously noted opportunities closing this week noted at the end.

  1. So sorry to hear that you are stopping this. You helped me get a GREAT job in 2010 and now that I'm looking again I've been finding jobs on your site. I also posted jobs here and found employees and I tell everybody to check you out when I know they are searching for jobs. You've made a difference in my life/career and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

  9. Sad is the word!
    All the way from Kabul, Afghanistan--this site is viewed everyday by many! Any chance to keep it going? Funding? What is needed? I'm sure a solution to keep it going can be achieved.

  10. I'm so sad to hear this! I'm in the midst of a job search myself and really relied on this-- it's been such an invaluable resource. Any chance you can share some tips with us before you go-- the search alerts on the major job search sites are always such a hit or miss for me.

  13. Is this something you could transition to a new administrator? I may be able to take it on, with a little instruction. Would hate to lose this awesome resource!

  14. I have been using this invaluable resource for years and echo others that I would hate to see this disappear but understand the need to maintain one's sanity and step away. If there are similar resources available that folks want to/could share, that would be great! Also, its great to see some folks volunteer to take the reigns.

    Best of luck with the future endeavors.

    Cheers
