Great tips, but FYI your Capitol Communicator and Capital Buzz links don't work.
Thanks so much Mary for the tips. I own a Christian PR firm in NYC and the tough times have caught up to us. I would love to see if we can obtain some outsourcing oppotunities with your tips.
I'll be sure to keep you posted.
Hi Lauren
All the links work. Initially, they didn't, but then I typed them in and then they all worked.
Oooh...thanks for the heads-up about the links :( I will fix them now! :)
The IABC/Washington Job Bank is another great resource for communications professionals seeking employment in the DC/Baltimore region.
Here is a link to the site: www.iabcwashington.org/job/
Communicators will find full-time, part-time and consulting positions in internal and external communications. There is no charge to post a job,and IABC/Washington members have unlimited, free access to listed
positions. Non-members pay a $15 fee for each position to which they respond.
