to Media & Entertainment Group, Kim Bangash
Greetings Media Professionals,
Thank you for continuing to hector me with job openings.  Hopefully, this reflects a growing (enough) economy that will alleviate my woefully beaten down PA.
Two listed events, both are full day seminars. One tomorrow as part of the Latin Media Conference in NYC and the other next month a funding event for start-ups.
As always, feel free to contact the employer/HR directly but also welcome to contact us with any questions.
Keep an eye out for our next happy hour or dinner.  I proposed having it in Zuccotti Park with the OccupyWallStreet crowd but too many of those dang MBA-types shot me down. Might have to cast my lot with that Anonymous Crowd (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2394071,00.asp#fbid=v2GhXYAX6wV).    ;-)
Happy autumn,
