The First Friday of 2017 Finds Us in a Cheerful Place...

... largely thanks to the Caps' streak-stopper last night.  And, we've got some fine jobs & other material to share with you today, as well.

The Internet Association has just passed along this Communications Intern (pdf) opportunity of the paid variety – writing, social media & graphic design experience/skills valued.

Mapbox, a mapping platform for online developers/applications, seeks Editorial & Content Director to join their outpost on the left-hand side of the map (San Francisco, CA, to be precise) – strong writing/editorial chops required; great listeners & patient teachers also valued.

Speaking of the mapping world: the National Fish & Wildlife Federation is actively searching for a Graphic Designer/Cartographer (scroll to find) with a relevant academic background & at least 1 year experience in professional graphic design spanning print & digital, with emphasis on map-making and infographics.

Several fresh opportunities available with the Human Rights Campaign:
Crowdpac – Political Director (scroll to find) –4+ years campaign experience with an understanding of political fundraising/organizing & digital marketing required

American University
Change.org – Marketing Manager, Email Engagement & Membership – at least three years’ experience in delivery of email/digital content to a significant audience desired, as well as proficiency in Exact Target or similar CRM tool – DC, New York, or San Francisco, CA
Atlantic Media
Mystery energy-related non-profit group – Communications Associate – temporary/contract – $12-$14/hr – search managed by Beacon Hill Staffing

New since our late-November check-in with Share Our Strength:

Cancer Support Community
BAE Systems – Communications Specialist – described as entry-level

... and finally: DC places 23rd among WalletHub’s recent 2017 Best & Worst Cities for Jobs rankings (20th in what they describe as job market rank).  We’d like to think GlassDoor’s 2016 Best Cities for Jobs rankings that have DC in the fifth spot are closer to the truth.

... and finally, part 2: here’s an appreciative shout-out to the Blue Duck Lounge, where we went recently stopped in for a couple excellent cocktails (this is one of the few spots that provides actual tasty little olives in your martini, rather than the rubbery golf-ball-sized ones served at all-too-many places) and an introduction to White Stone oysters, to which we became instantly addicted.  Service there is gracious and friendly, as well.

 Best wishes for a delightful & super-fine weekend from your favorite™ public affairs jobs resource.
