Not Exactly as Planned

It's a sunny and pleasant Friday here in the DC area; we're feeling pretty chipper, even if everything's not exactly going as planned. Things will get better, especially once you snag one of today's fine jobs or internships. Or at happy hour, perhaps.

Spectrum seeks Account Supervisor/Account Director candidates – prior agency experience and specific knowledge of hospitals and/or medical devices, including FDA regulatory and approval process, is strongly preferred for both positions.

Republican online political consulting firm iWeb Strategies is in hiring mode for a full-time Project Manager - minimum 2 years of professional internet strategy or website management experience, along with working knowledge of HTML and Adobe Photoshop required. Heart-of-Old-Town location.

The Media Consortium is looking to place Editorial Interns with their progressive-leaning member outlets in DC and other locations. A stipend of $2k is offered for 12-weeks work this Summer or Fall – apply by May 3. Aspirants for these positions may also be interested in our recent Media/Journalism jobs special edition.

Arlington County is set to open the fun-sounding and hang-out-enabling (see WiFi Town Square) Artisphere on 10/10/10 (at 10:10 am, were guessing). So there’s plenty of time for you to get up to full fundraising-speed as Development Director. Arts and fundraising experience required; $53k-$88k paygrade noted. Facilities/Operations Manager also sought, with a similar paycheck promised.

Special Arlington Co. bonus coverage: euphemistically-titled Public Service Aide opportunity – $26k-$41k – LOTS of exercise promised/threatened – apply by Apr. 22

For your far-flung-Friday consideration: American Dental Association – Coordinator, State Public Affairs (job ID 6230) – Chicago, IL

The Senior Citizen League – Legislative Analyst – low-to-mid $30k

We ride the same elevators every day as the cheerful-looking and usually casually-dressed crew at Conservation International:
AFL-CIO – Media Outreach Fellowship – $640/wk – apply by Apr. 23

TMG seeks Social Media Health Journalist. Experience producing health and wellness content and web publishing skills requirement.

Secretive award-winning boutique public relations firm with corporate, government and non-profit client base seeks Media Account Manager to work on what they describe as great accounts.

Zeno Group – scroll down for:
More for your far-flung Friday desires of the college-town variety: a seems-pretty-cool Communications Coordinator slot with the Michigan Municipal League in Ann Arbor – apply by May 12

Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County - variety of Intern opportunities include Social Media (pdf) and Marketing/Communications (pdf).

Your Friday job resource comes from yesterday's comment box, where, instead of the usual work-from-home job scams helpfully submitted there, someone offered up Intern Washington, a new entrant in the free/premium hybrid site category – and, despite the intern-oriented title, they list jobs, as well. They also have sister sites covering other major cities.
