Hello Friday job-shoppers and welcome to the final regular edition of DCPA+CJ!
As noted earlier, I am ending this
11+ year, 3,074-post (good grief, that's amazing) enterprise because it's time to reduce the sitting-in-front-of-a-computer hours in my life. I doubt my days will come to resemble a Michelob Ultra commercial, but I think getting some more exercise and outside-time will follow. I've enjoyed hearing from so many people over the years that have found a job through the blog or at least made their search a little easier and more fun. Folks seemed to like it, and that's why I've kept with this odd-but-fulfilling hobby. Thanks for the job-submissions and all the kind words.
This is (most likely) the last regular edition of the blog. I do plan to run a list of all the previously jobs with pending deadlines in one post on Sunday – and I'll probably write some job-searching advice and a big set of relevant job-board links in the next couple weeks.
Feels a little weird to be signing off right in these unsettling times, but otherwise it's been great. Good luck in your job-searches & all things and feel free to
drop me a line if you ever feel like chatting.
Now, on to the jobs; a lot of direct-to-us submissions lead the set.
