everybody was job hunting

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

Almost everyone I know is looking for a job right now. If you know of anything that fits one of these bills, feel free to add a comment. All are Spanish speakers.

  • Human rights activist wants to work in Portland, Oregon. Possibly labor organizing.
  • Redhead with social enterprise background, master's in International Aid seeks job in Washington DC
  • Her boyfriend is looking for a political science post at a decent university.
  • History major and English teacher with activist and social services background seeks job anywhere, world. Prefers Colombia or cities in US with mild climates.
  • Redhead (almost) with master's (almost!) in urban policy seeks job in the South. Something exciting, please god. No more desk jobs! Open to organizing positions that don't involve door stalking.
  • Mailliw A. Retsamkcub, esquire, being of extremely certain mind and very dextrous hand-eye coordination due to years of training on home electronics equipment, and the broad experience that one gets bagging groceries at Publix, does hereby affirm that he never wants a job that requires him to a) show up, b) be nice to people, and c) show up. If one of my two readers has such a position, please be so kind as to forget about it; he won't show up for it.

Bex's tips on jobhunting:

Tip #1: People like to know what hair color you have when you are applying for jobs. Try adding a flavorful description to your job objective. Something like this: "Nonprofit executive with extensive experience in delivery of social services and consulting for nonprofit efficiency seek position that will allow her to utilize her brilliant streaked blond and grey hair for maximum effectiveness."

See how that works?
