Hi, I'm Margie Newman. I blog about public relations, social media, careers, productivity and geek stuff.

Introducing the Flacks Jobs Board

Check it out, ya’ll: I’ve put up a Flacks jobs board to make it easier for me to alert you to the career opportunities total strangers, co-workers and friends send me to share with you. What? Well, you get it.

If you are a job seeker, click on the new link to the “Jobs” page up there in the top navigation. From there, you may view current and past listings, subscribe to future listings and sign up to receive alerts via email.

If you are an employer or recruiter, I welcome your job postings in search of public relations, communications and new/social media talent. Please upload your job description and contact information (your name and email remains private) and choose either A) the free, 15-day listing, or B) pay a small fee for a 30-day listing to be featured on the FlackRabbit home page and promoted via the relevant Flacks Meetup listserv. FlackRabbit readers tend to be a transient bunch; although the current listings reflect DC-area opportunities, job openings in all major US cities are encouraged!

Although folks are Tweeting gigs and using the hashtag daily, the real event is on Friday, February 19, from 10am-2pm CT, when some of the nation’s leading PR pros will Tweet job openings and help facilitate matches. Read More…
