On Monday, we spotlighted some recent opportunities in DC and beyond with Fleishman Hillard – our sources have since reminded us that they are still seeking experienced candidates for their fine Senior Vice President, Healthcare Communications opportunity. PR agency and Federal health agency and/or Capitol Hill experience preferred. More openings nationwide per their freshly-redesigned careers page.

4/30 at 4:30 – that’s the deadline for the Government Relations Director position for the progressive and pedal-friendly Principality of Portland, OR. $101k-$163k salary offered, along with a less-rainy climate than Seattle, Houston, Baltimore, Boston and Atlanta.

We’re trying to resist adding event-planner as a regular category around here; but we’re not feeling especially strict today:
Junior Achievement of the National Capitol area seeks Development Manager and Development Assistant. And future Junior Achievers, we imagine.

These guys had us at live in a van ….. don’t forget to drop us a postcard.

Speaking of subversion from abroad and within – new stuff with our pals at the Council on Foreign Relations, mostly in NYC:
We’re suckers for (mostly disastrous) tales of blimps, airships, zeppelins, dirigibles – the Hindenburg, for cryin’ out loud, or the Shenandoah, LZ-104, the Akron, the Macon – so we’re naturally envious as all hell of the next Government Affairs/Senior Executive Assistant for Worldwide Aeros Corp. Some travel may be required to their (secretive, we imagine) headquarters in Los Angeles; presumably on this.

SpeakerBox PR:
We generally avoid the listings from the Ladders & JobFox and the like – mainly on account of accurate and timely offering like this mis-titled listing that showed up in our search results, and refers to a job that dates back to July of 2009. Awesome work, guys.
