The person in this role will coordinate our Signature Site, with over 4,000 volunteers. We also coordinate other community service and civic engagement events year-round; in the past year we’ve hosted both Vice President Joe Biden and Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee.”

If you love blogging — and we know most Brazenites do — check out this NYC-based position. The ideal candidate is a college graduate who has experience using WordPress, Final Cut and Photoshop. And, of course, to work for MTV, you should “know the difference between Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato,” the ad reads.
Producer jobs can be tedious, but they’re also a great way to get your foot in the door, especially if you have coveted online skills. In this role, you’d update Web content, manage video and photos, write and edit copy, and more. The position is freelance or project-based, which probably means no health insurance, but who says you won’t move into a full-time role once you prove how awesome you are?
If you’ve got the online skills and thought the Gomez-Lovato reference was a no-brainer, go ahead and apply!

This week’s pick:Don’t get WFUNA confused with the United Nations; rather, it’s a non-profit that’s working to strengthen the UN (their description, not ours).
But this job looks pretty cool regardless. The position requires at least three years of fundraising experience at a nonprofit, academic or related sort of organization. If you’re looking for the opportunity to work with high-level folks, this might just be perfect — the Development Officer works directly with the organization’s Secretary-General on certain projects. Are you a natural connector? The position is also responsible for maintaining relationships with advisory board members, donors etc.
Another perk? If hired, you get four weeks of vacation! Don’t see that too often. So if you’re a development professional and working with an organization that focuses on human rights, climate change and nuclear disarmament sounds awesome, go ahead and apply!

]]> Because many of you are looking for a job — or, if you’re already working, likely keeping your eyes open for a better job — we occasionally feature what we like to call Sweet Jobs, or gigs that rock for whatever reason. This week’s pick:Scoutmob’s a startup that helps you experience your city by offering a heads up about city gems and local businesses. They’re expanding to cities across the country.
Based in New York City, this position requires 2-4 years of post-college experience and demonstrated success with consumer-facing social media, marketing, public relations and event planning.
Think you’d qualify? Read on. (And if you don’t, consider joining Scoutmob for a chance to win a PUBLIC bicycle.)
This community manager will spearhead all local marketing activities for the startup, including event planning and production, buzz-marketing execution, event sponsorships, and online community development and customer service through social media.
Scoutmob’s looking to hire an employee who knows and loves New York City, and someone who has or can develop relationships with media and bloggers.
Nicole Jayne, Scoutmob’s director of community: The first Scoutmob “office” was in co-founder Dave Payne’s dining room. As we grew through 2010, we expanded to his kitchen, his living room, his antechamber, until Dave and his fiancee finally moved out and let us take over the bedroom.
Conference calls were regularly conducted in his spacious walk-in closet. In the new space, we have a ball pit, ping pong table and Indo board; here’s a virtual tour.
More fun: Every day one industrious Scoutmob employee is awarded the Great Job Today plaque. The bar is incredibly high, and the thrill of winning is complimented with your picture on http://greatjobtoday.info.
We feel a deep sense of purpose to serve our communities, some even say Scoutmob is a platform for passion. Whether it’s a local business owner, an artist or just someone doing something cool in your city, sharing their awesomesauce with the world is rewarding every day.
If you truly love living in your city, Scoutmob is the place for you. This is not a 9-5, this is a 24/7/365, a natural extension of your local-loving life. Oh, and we pay for our employees to get mustache tattoos.
Dave Payne is a huge foodie, while Michael Tavani would be fine just taking a pill for nourishment. Before there was Scoutmob, they had a business together setting up Wi-Fi hotspots at local cafes and shops. When that didn’t skyrocket to success, they took everything they learned about the needs of local business owners and created something better.

Love animals? Have a bachelor’s degree in biology or a related field? Or experience working in a facility that cares for animals, like a kennel or farm?
This position reports to the Chicago Zoological Society. You’d care for zoo animals, feeding and closely monitoring them; we hear they’ve got polar bears, wolves, kangaroos and more. The job also includes maintenance of buildings and grounds, and you’d assist zoo guests, too, taking “initiative to facilitate guests’ appreciation of animals and enjoyment of their zoo visit,” the post reads.
The ideal candidate has excellent interpersonal skills (though what job doesn’t require that nowadays?) and knowledge of natural history, zoology or animal husbandry. Yeah, we didn’t know what “animal husbandry” was either. It’s “the science of breeding, feeding, and tending domestic animals, especially farm animals,” according to Dictionary.com.
Spanish fluency’s also a plus, and pay ranges from $20-$24/hour.
