The Eurasia Foundation seeks Communications & Development Intern for graphic design, writing, copyediting and administrative support as well as assistance with events – familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop and InDesign, or other publishing/layout software required – as is a one-year commitment for this paid position.

Speaking of hot, how about some opportunities with your streaking & sweeping Washington Nationals:

The Organization for International Investment, effective advocate for U.S. subsidiaries of foreign companies, seeks Communications Director – background in global business policy issues would be a plus.

PhilipsThought Leadership Communications Director – establishes and manages a North American thought leadership communications program that strategically aligns with Philips brand and business values, and supports the company's unique position on health and well-being.  You could do that!

Say it fast enough, and maybe Mom will confuse your news of snagging a freelance Writer/Contributor post with the Weed Street Journal with employment at a slightly better known outlet with a similar name.   Of course, the lie eventually falls apart, unless you can convince the folks that you're writing under the pseudonym of Holman Jenkins or Kimberly Strassel.

Best wishes for a nice weekend from your favoritepublic affairs jobs resource. Stay cool, stay thirsty, be safe, go Nats!
