Job leads

Job leads in the region:

- Longwood Gardens is hiring a membership manager. Desired skill set includes experience in marketing/publicity/journalism. See the class ad in Wednesday's NJ.

- The Washington Times in D.C. is seeking an online writer and an online editor. Details at JournalismJobs.

- CNNMoney is seeking a senior writer/producer in D.C. Details at JournalismJobs.

- The AP is seeking various editors in Philadelphia. Details at JournalismJobs.

- If you have a bachelor's degree and are looking for some extra income, consider substitute teaching. The state is on a hiring freeze, but school districts aren't, and subs are always in high demand. (One area the state is hiring for? Corrections officers. Hey, it'd be a job.)

Final note: Even if you have some time to relax and get things in order before severance runs out, be sure to check out the state's unemployment rules and regs. They take a flowchart to follow, but they might be important.

What do you think about booking a room (or more) at a Wilmington restaurant/bar (Kid's? Comegys?) to offer the farewells & tributes these blunt-force layoffs wouldn't allow? Free food/drinks (and designated drivers?) for all those just laid off. A box for donations from those of us who still have a predictable income (for a while). Split donations equally among those just laid off. Comments? Suggestions?

I think this is a great idea. I would be all for it. A lot of the people on this list are devoted workers and didn't deserve this. It makes me so sad everytime I think about what they did.
