Account Sales Representative: This opening is an entry-level sales position at the company. Salary + commission, salary is pretty good after you pass your 90 evaluation, benefits kick in at that point as well. It is a cold/warm calling job, you will be on the phone the entire day.

The company is really chill, it's a young crowd in the department, and there is advancement opportunity within in the department and company.

E-mail me at ecksile at gmail.

Just throwing this opportunity back out there. We've had some recent turn over and are down to 15 people in our department. I think they want to keep the number at around 20 with "full capacity" being 22, so we have some openings.

To clarify on the above your first 90 days you get paid as if your yearly salary was $21,000. This comes out to about $700 bi-monthly. Commission is available from day one and you get paid $30 for every completed appointment that you set. My average commission is probably around $450 a month. After/if you pass your 90 evaluation you get bumped up to $32,000 a year with benefits.

Everyone who works in the department is fairly young (22-30) pretty cool, managers can be a pain sometimes but that's true everywhere. Free pizza on Fridays, jeans everyday, etc.

Edit: There's also a $2k referral bonus that I'd get which I'd split with anyone who made their 90 day evaluation (need to make the eval for me to get the bonus).

Education: Bachelor of Arts in History and German from Miami University (Ohio), December 2009.

Experience: I have worked with my current employer (who shall remain anonymous until someone requests a resumé) since June of 2009 in the aforementioned position of German-language translator and support technician. One year experience in an academic archive setting, acting as student archivist and transcriptionist for Miami University's Oral History Project, an endeavor culminating in a new published history of the university and the surrounding area.

Berkman Center for Internet & Society
Youth and Media Policy Working Group Initiative >
Freelance Writing Position

The Berkman Center's Youth and Media Policy project is looking for a journalist to do some freelance writing. The project calls for several written reports and one final book (or other text-based product) that ties the work of the three tracks - risky behaviors and online safety; privacy, publicity and reputation; and youth created content and information quality - together.

While the principal investigators on the project will be doing much of the writing, we're looking for someone who has journalism experience to pull that work together into one cohesive whole, tying themes together and editing to achieve a consistent voice. Deep knowledge of youth and media policy issues is not required, but a working knowledge of, and interest in, social media is extremely helpful. We'd prefer someone who's local, because attendance at meetings held in Cambridge, MA will be important, but proximity is not a requirement. We are looking for someone who is able to start in January 2010.

If you're interested, please send a note explaining your interest, a current version of your resume and a couple writing samples to Catherine Bracy (cbracy@cyber.law.harvard.edu).

Computer security goon here, with a big focus on privacy and anonymity. Just landed a great internship for the summer but I try and keep an eye on what skills are in demand since next fall starts my last year of my degree.

I see some of you are spoilering your emails, that won't stop spiders like googlebot (they view everything in raw html). (It would suck if some spider cached your post and your boss somehow found you looking for work on the internet... stanger things have happened. Also, spambots will collect your email, which is generally unpleasant.)

The best bet is to type it out like this to avoid spiders:

Looking for a Job

Toronto/GTA
HR Generalist/Trainer

I have a double degree in Mechanical Engineering and English Literature. My degree course had a timeline of 4 years, but I attained this in 3 years. I have a Master's in English Literature from University College Dublin in Ireland.

For the past two years I've been working on a cruise ship in the role of trainer, but essentially I was responsible for all of the HR functions for 900-1300 staff members. This job involved working 70 hours per week for anything from payroll to benefits and all facets of training. Training involved management training, software training, orientation and hospitality. English teaching was an essential part of the role as well as running a resource center for all staff members. I am TEFL certified, a licensed instructional designer from the American Maritime Organization and a certified Hospitality trainer.

Before that I worked for three recruitment companies in Ireland and I was responsible for staffing functions as well as Business Development. I consistently hit 90% of my target and was lead consultant for my branch.

Here's the cherry on top though: I am the hardest working person looking for a job in southern Ontario right now. No joke. Not just saying that. It's just a fact. Early mornings? I'm there. Night and weekends? Done. Need a presentation for some obscure software I've never heard of before, and you need it in 24 hours? I'll make your cue cards too, sir. I'm young, no baggage and a ton of student loans. I'll work 24 hours a day if you need.

Transferable skills!(Yes, you too can be smarter than the average hiring manager)

Writing - Instructional design is 90% writing, also my Master's required quite a bit.
Editing - I wrote every single job advertisement while I was a recruiter myself. I also wrote several resumes for staff members on the cruise line.
Translation - fluent in French and English. Spanish & Italian conversational (but this is Canada, so...)
HR Functions - Employee relations and development, benefits analysis, hiring.
Sales & Marketing - Essential in recruitment.
Communications - PR pitches and campaigns are essentially presentations about the positive aspects of your business.

I need to find a job before April. If there is anything like this in your company, I would rock the heck out of it.

Thanks kids.

We currently have a commodity product that we have ghostwritten for us by a much larger firm. Frankly, the product really needs to be moved in-house, with an in-house commodity analyst who can handle daily, weekly and monthly editorial.

So, the person we're looking for should have good writing skills, or at least somewhat competent writing skills - but more importantly they should be extremely well-versed in commodity investing. I'm talking everything: corn, iron, gold, oil, molybdenum, nat gas, soy beans, pokemon cards - basically anything you can think of that's traded on a commodity futures exchange.

As far as qualifications and education background, that's kind of secondary to the above skill-sets. I don't care if you live in your mom's basement and dropped out of community college - if you know commodities (a track record would be nice) and you can prove a modicum of writing skill, that's all we need.

The actual staff and company is filled with young people (the CEO just turned 30), and we all have a very strong work ethic. The company itself is 8 years old - and there's lots of potential for growth.

If this seems like something you really believe you could do, drop me an email at kevinvonkevinstein at yahoo

Up ta somethin'


Upcoming Job Openings

Position: Patent Examiners

Location: Alexandria VA (Washington DC area)

Requirements:
B.S. in Science or Engineering. Higher degrees or high academic achievement can result in higher placement.
This is a US Federal Government position. Full US citizenship required, plus a clean enough record to pass a Public Trust background check

About the Job:
The US Patent office is close to restarting hiring of new Patent Examiners (likely a few hundred openings). The position involves reading applications and claims to inventions, searching prior art databases, and writing reports about if an application complies with US Patent law. 6 month intensive training provided.

Benefits including:
Multiple health care plans to chose from
Defined benefit pension + TSP (like a 401k, with very low fees)
40 hour workweek, paid overtime for extra work completed
Flexible work schedule
Mass transit subsidy (including anything that takes Metro's Smartrip, Virginia VRE, and Maryland MARC)
After two years, potential for full-time telework

Salary:
Here's the table: http://apps.opm.gov/SpecialRates/package/table057601012010.html
Most people will come in as a Grade 7, step 10 ($68k). If you have IP experience or a MS the start point is I think (not sure on this one) Grade 9 step 7 ($73k).


My take about the job:

First the cons: I'll be honest, this job isn't for everyone. The work is done on a rather aggressive quota system with a set number of hours per application, but you are pretty much on your own as far as keeping yourself on track. If you don't have trouble setting goals for yourself as to what work you will get done in a week, you should be fine. It involves a lot of reading, and a lot of playing with words to look for double meanings and such. I would recommend going on google patents and reading some patents on various things, paying particular attention to the claims. Oh, and nearly all of your communications regarding the applications will be with attorneys. For those of you who would have to move, note that the DC area is very expensive to live in.

On the pro side: As long as you keep up with the quota you are pretty golden. The other Examiners are in generally very ready to help out if you have questions or run into a problem with an application. The promotions to higher positions are non-competitive merit based (meaning you don't have to fight somebody for the higher spot), all the way up to GS-14 with a $140k per year salary. And after 2 years and reaching GS-12 (normally two or three promotions away at hiring) you can work full time from home only checking in at the office for two days every two weeks. Federal benefits are nice, and Flextime is wonderful. Also there is some serious job security because there is an absurd backlog of applications to be examined.


I was talking with someone about these positions coming up, and they noted that Electrical Engineers are rather strongly wanted. If you have particular experience with battery systems (charging, control, etc) please let me know via PM. I will place a new entry in this thread when the actual positions come up on USAjobs but I thought people would want to know they are in the pipeline.

:siren: Update: Now actively looking! :siren:

If anyone needs entry-level IT in Los Angeles or anywhere in the 310 area code, hit me up, or post in this thread. Right now I'm keeping my options open.

Location: Los Angeles, 310 area code
Position: entry-level IT: either Help Desk, Sys Admin Asst, Phone Support, or even a job in QA looks good at this point, given the state of the economy.
Industry: Information Technology
Education: Four-year college graduate, returning to school for additional computer repair courses, but I don't have the CompTIA A+ yet. Hopefully a kind-hearted goon knows that not all knowledge in a cert and can still can take me on, or knows someone who can.
Looking for: An entry-level IT position where I can prove I can hit the ground running, and be an asset to your office.
Currently working: A contract QA job, and looking for something more permanent.
Experience: A solid work history you'd expect for someone a few years outta college, with some experience working QA. Enough that I'm looking for the lateral move into an IT-based position, so you know I won't just flake on you. Rehired for three jobs I've previously worked over the summer while attending college.

I have the tech experience you'd expect from a goon; advanced with Microsoft Operating Systems (2000, XP, Vista, ect.) as well as Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook ect.)

I also bring some experience with HTML, Flash, C++ and QBasic to the table.

I'd even be willing to accept another contract QA job, but that's a second-string choice. Really I'm looking for something a little more permanent than that.

HIRING:

No opening yet, but I'm on the lookout for some IT talent for hiring in the next 2-3 mos.

Need an IT janitor to do all the work I don't want to do. We're in the Pharmaceutical field, have about 200 people across the US, and are based in Rockville, Md. Not a bad commute from DC.

The ideal candidate will have enough experience and customer service skills help me with helpdesk, but will also have opportunity to learn some systems admin skills and take over some of those duties as I start to trust you.

I've been in the business a long time, and know my poo poo. If you're quick with the knowledge bases and can deal with carbon based lifeforms as well as silicone ones, send me a PM and we can discuss a strategy. It'll most likely start with part time work, but will become full time if you fit in.

If you're all the janitor I'm looking for, you'll end up with around $50k a year until the company grows to the next phase. This could lead to manager level at some point. I don't care about education and certs, but be quick on your feet.

Technologies:
-Server 2008 (Active directory)
-Office, Acrobat, other normal desktop apps
-MPLS (Cisco)
-VOIP (Altigen)
-Legacy microsoft OS's
-SharePoint 2007
-Exchange 2003

I live in Fairfax. I might be interested in this position. I have 2.5 years of helpdesk/system admin skills. I've worked in large corporate environments (University supporting over 4,000 students, faculty, and staff), as well as independent work/independent contractor work.

I can do anything from CJ work to setting up networks (like school computer labs), domain work, light AD/GP skills. etc. Microsoft Server 2000-2003.

Sorry for being curt, but I have to run soon.

If you could, shoot me an e-mail more about the position. I'm very interested:

Posting a Job

Location: Neptune Beach, FL (Jacksonville beach area)

We need a temp/part time programmer. Skills necessary are .Net, SQL, and Java. This is an immediate need, so if you reply by tomorrow, you can come into the office and talk to me about it. Post your email and I'll call you. This is ideal if you want to make some 1099 cash while your looking for a job, and a chance that if this little startup doesn't crash, it's a real job!

We will also need some grunt work in the near future. When I say grunt, I mean $8 an hour repetitive make you want to kill yourself kind of work. That sounds bad right? Well, it's not a chicken processing plant, but it is monotonous stuff. The upside is that we provide lunch, plenty of your choice of drinks (non-alcoholic during working hours), and satellite radio that you get to fight with your co-workers over. This is probably ideal if you don't have a high school diploma, or have a liberal arts degree.
