Hi everyone! Post election we all know former campaign staff who are looking for their next jobs, including thousands of canvassers and field organizers. At my firm, New Working Majority, we recruit for entry level organizing jobs and have screened almost 150 former field staff for those positions.

To support these job seekers, we're hosting a webinar called So You Were a Field Organizer, Now What? for people trying to make the transition from election based field to long term basebuilding organizing. The webinar will go over the differences between the two, some of the basics of long term organizing, and how to talk about your field experience in interviews for long term organizing positions. There will be a Q&A session and you'll get an email after with a list of resources to help you find your next job.

The event will be on Wednesday 12/4 1-2pm EST and costs $20/person. This webinar is just $20 because we want to make it accessible to folks who are either recently became or will soon become unemployed. If you're interested in sponsoring the event so that former field staff can come for free, please reply to this email or reach out to me.
