Lookin' for a J-O-B

Img_2230 Oh, yes, and meet Tap, my brother's new Catahoula puppy!

Whew! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind! With a house/dog-sitting gig in Marin, resumes and cover letters galore and a long bout with food poisoning, there hasn't been a dull moment.

Good news is, things are looking up on the job front! Can't say too much yet, but I'm hopeful. But that's not to say you shouldn't keep the referrals coming! I honestly have only ever landed jobs where I already had a connection. There's definitely something to be said for using one's network.

That said, I wanted to share some of my favorite job sites for those looking for alternatives to Monster:

First, everyone should be on LinkedIn. Unlike many social networking sites, this one is really solely dedicated to professionals. Next, try sites like:

NetImpact.org

idealist.org

GreenJobs.com

TreeHugger.org

La Quinta Evening Event

  • Img_1665
    This is an event that I recently pulled together in Palm Springs. We saved the galvanized metal floral containers to hopefully use again. It was an Asian-inspired dinner served family-style on huge lazy susans in the center of the tables. We served mini saketinis as guests arrived and entertained with a string trio that featured a mandolin.

April & Joe

    This is the wedding of April (my best friend since the age of five) and Joe at UC Santa Cruz: - Again, by using a location that was naturally beautiful, we didn't need to utilize a lot of resources to dress the place up! - We used all local vendors and the reception food was served using organic local produce that was known to be in-season - I even used a car share service to get myself to Santa Cruz to set up and run the wedding!

Marilyn & Rob

    This is a wedding I did last October, for Marilyn and Rob at Sutro Heights Park. We kept this event low-impact in many areas: - we used a naturally beautiful setting that did not require a lot of extra decoration - invitations were printed on recycled biodegradeable paper that was filled with wildflower seeds that guests could plant right in their own backyards - the bride's mother made her dress of natural silk fabric - the mother of the bride also made the groomsmen's shirts and ties of natural hemp fabric - the groom had his suit custom made of organic silk hemp - individually, the pieces look casual enough that he plans to get a lot of use out of them in the future - we kept traffic and parking, as well as vehicle emissions to a minimum by bussing guests from the hotel to the ceremony and from the ceremony to the reception
