Need a job? Looking for talent?

[Rodney Nickens]

Hi Rodney,

Jobs are at the top of many people's minds this time of year. Organizers are dusting off resumes and searching for their next opportunity. Employers are looking for new rockstars to join their teams. The process can be stressful on both sides.

We'd like to help by playing matchmaker.

We're collecting organizer resumes, creating a database of available jobs, and providing a space at RootsCamp for people to meet face to face, from 12-2pm on Sunday, December 12th. Here's what you need to do:

Organizers: if you're looking for work, fill out our Organizer Interest form and submit your resume by 12pm ET on Monday, December 6th. For those of you attending RootsCamp, we'll make your information available to employers participating in the Career Fair so that you can meet and engage with them in person.

Employers: if you're looking for talent, fill out our Job Opportunity form by 5pm ET on Wednesday, December 8th. We'll look for resumes from organizers with the mix of experience and gumption that meet your needs.

Your best chance to meet great talent is to come to RootsCamp, where we'll provide you a Career Fair table, free of charge, and give you the resumes of organizers in attendance. Even if you don't have immediate openings, you can sign up for a table and meet some talented prospects for the future.

We'll do our best to match organizers with potential jobs, whether you attend RootsCamp or not, so you should submit your resume or job opportunity even if you're not coming. But your best bet is to join us at the NOI Career Fair at RootsCamp on Sunday, December 12 where employers and organizers to meet face to face, find out about the opportunities, and schedule informational interviews.

So send us your resume or tell us about the rockin' job you're filling, and join us next Sunday for the RootsCamp Career Fair!

Hope to see you there,

Lola and the RootsCamp Team

"And as with so many movements, it was also something more: It was at this defining moment that these folks who had been marginalized rose up to challenge not just how the world saw them, but also how they saw themselves. As we've seen so many times in history, once that spirit takes hold there is little that can stand in its way. And the riots at Stonewall gave way to protests, and protests gave way to a movement, and the movement gave way to a transformation that continues to this day. It continues when a partner fights for her right to sit at the hospital bedside of a woman she loves. It continues when a teenager is called a name for being different and says, "So what if I am?" It continues in your work and in your activism, in your fight to freely live your lives to the fullest."
~President Barack H. Obama
