Smells Like School Spirit

It's Friday – and the watchword is fun. Like it should be.

We’re fully aware that fundraising/development work is undertaken with a great degree of seriousness at Georgetown University and other academic institutions (or any donor-dependent nonprofit, for that matter). Still, this call for two Prospect Analyst positions gives some insight as to the level of prospecting/research efforts involved. And, it kind of sounds kind of fun, especially if you’re a little nosy by nature. $45k-$50k.

Speaking of fun – there’s nothing that spells Friday frivolity like a complex, agate-type listing from our friends at the World Bank, who seek a Director, AFREX to manage the Africa communications team in DC and in Africa. Apply by July 5.

US Chamber of Commerce – Director, IP Coalition Development – leading a project for their Global Intellectual Property Center. Bonus coverage: we’re not going to make HR jobs a regular part of the rotation around here, but we do want you to know the Chamber is also seeking Director, Human Resources.

Fundraising pro? Boston-located, or would like to be? Fan of our 42nd President? A: Director of Major Gifts with the Clinton Health Access Initiative.

…we’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you?

(30 mi. West of Charlottesville). Search managed by B.E. Smith.

People ask us all the time (ok, just occasionally) where we find this fine selection of jobs & internships.* Sometimes, like this morning, we hear a story on NPR (in this case, about distributing natural resource wealth in developing countries) and decide to check out a company/organization that is referenced – bringing us to the Center for Global Development:

• Director of Global Health Policy
• Special Assistant to the President

July 11 is the application deadline for Fall 2010 Internships of the paid variety with currently-in-the-news polling/research firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner.

We knew we’d seen Arlington County’s Artisphere referenced here previously – it sounded fun then, and it sounds fun now – especially of you’re tapped as Executive Director, and banking at the high end of the $56k-$116k salary range noted. And yes, Development Director is still available – $53k-$88k.

A couple years ago, using something called twitjobsearch would sound like a resource for hiring in the all-too-robust idiot-American community – but now, it's a source for jobs like Social Media Campaign Associate with Tuvel Communications.

Best wishes for a you-know-what kind of weekend from your favorite™ public affairs & communications jobs resource. We plan to start ours, in the usual location, at about 4:00 pm today.

* The full answer: we utilize relevant public affairs/communications job boards ranging from the obvious to the obscure, search engines, web-scraping/data-mining technology, submissions/suggestions from forward-thinking HR folks and friends of the site, or just poking through our old listings.

Sweet Thursday

Into the Past

Your Tuesday programming is not based on a specific industry- or job-type. We've changed up our normal job-search methodology today – eschewing the usual set of mainstay and lesser-known public affairs job resources, search engines and data-mining protocols.

Instead, we looked back at our postings from late June 2009, and searched for fresh jobs at companies & organizations listed there. We think this random-walk approach might unearth a higher proportion of opportunities that are not also found via the usual suspect job boards and search engines – which certainly can't hurt your chances when applying. Happy hunting!
