Hey everyone, didn’t I tell you there would be some good stuff coming up in 2010?
Check this out—“Americas leading publishers representative firm” (huh?) needs not only movers, but also shakers. Because they’re “on the move.”

Here’s one that YUD will probably never apply for, largely because she has a hard time seeing herself ever leaving the gloriously claustrophobic confines of Manhattan—even if only to Brooklyn—much less moving halfway across the country. (She is, in many ways, a creature of habit, and Colorado is a strange and foreign land.)
Still, if and when that day ever arises, I hope the people at Aspen Magazine are hiring. Here’s why: Read the rest of this entry »

Today’s dispatch from across the pond comes at a good time. I myself am a little bit down in the dumps about finding a job. Daylight savings time is over, marking the final door-slam on our already closed summer of frivolity, and while I have freelance work, it’s not enough to occupy me. I want more. Challenges! Excitement! Coworkers! I need more. Free Halloween candy in the kitchen! A water bubblah! Money!
And I’m irritated and a bit numb from not hearing back from the one million peoples and places to whom I’ve sent my resume, of feeling like every effort I go to has so little effect, why bother…

Here’s something odd. Not the job, which sounds like a great one for the right person. Part of me has always thought it might be nice to work at a college. Good benefits, decent hours, fewer (you’d think) crazy people. Plus, Pratt would probably be creative, no? And maybe you could snag some free classes!
But what’s weird is how they want you to apply. If you scroll down, you find this:
Online applications will not be accepted for this position. Please submit a resume, a cover letter that includes salary history and expectations, and the names and contact information for three professional references to:
Executive Director
Office of Public Relations and Communications
Pratt Institute
200 Willoughby Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11205
