University of Virginia – Charlottesville, Va.
Speaking of Charlottesville, that’s where you’ll be if you’re tapped as Leadership Gift Officer for the Southern Environmental Law Center – your background should include a minimum of five or more years of successful one-on-one fund raising. [hey, wait: wouldn’t minimum of five years suffice? Isn’t the addition of or more actually contradictory to the whole idea of minimum?]

A little patience required here – as the New York Life careers page seems to generate unstable, session-based links – for the Exec Assistant position in their government affairs office: a) go to corporate careers, b) then to experienced professionals, c) then to experienced jobs, d) then to openings, e) then search using DC location or req ID 6064BR. We think NYL should give you the job just for being able to actually find it.

Fleishman-Hillard:
Halfway between Tyson’s & Leesburg – that’s where you’ll be working as Communications Specialist for the Architectural Woodworking Institute

Your job-search resource of the day will be a downer to recent grads, as the New York Times posits the notion of The Master’s as the New Bachelor’s. Sorry.
