Exactly the right skill sets. <br /><br />I predict we will be looking for someone in the next 3-6 months with a job that is basically social media strategist for the public affairs office. Very technical, very much about training, but also very much about communication goals and strategies, too.<br /><br />But as a non-profit in the midwest, we pay about 70 cents on the dollar compared to the market rate.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260127912630457523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899824361331886204.post-69180126650824924762011-09-22T07:31:24.854-05:002011-09-22T07:31:24.854-05:00Nope.

He also didn't know if Kent management would be OK with Kent leaving Boston. <br /><br />I still found it a little annoying and patronizing, not to mention premature. I haven't interviewed with the actual manager yet, that was just a pre-screen.edj3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11137939126171451654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899824361331886204.post-23762287017584225892011-09-22T06:21:48.006-05:002011-09-22T06:21:48.006-05:00Wait...he called your HUSBAND regarding details re...Wait...he called your HUSBAND regarding details related to a job for which YOU were applying?

You have to think of three different ways to say the same thing before anyone pays the slightest bit of attention.<br /><br />Speaking as someone who works in the same place as a husband, I'd say that it's not always bad to be regarded as part of a pair--it can be irritating, but it can also be a shortcut for someone who is concerned about stuff that will affect both of you.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.com
