Big Week

We've got a Big Week planned for you, starting with a super-sized Monday set below, followed by a Tuesday special edition on jobs & internships at public relations & communications firms, and robust runs planned for the rest of the week.  So set aside a little more job search and cover letter prep time and enjoy.  And, if you're so inclined, tell your friends, your colleagues and even your low-grade enemies:  It's a Big Week at DCPA+CJ!
