I’ve always posted cool job listings on my @LesleyChang account, but @SoSilkie suggested that I post them all in one place so people don’t miss out on them.

With that in mind, I went ahead and started up a new Twitter account, @BestJobsInVan so people can follow my job postings on Twitter.

The jobs I post tend to run in the marketing, communications, PR, journalism, writing and design side. There are a variety of different listings running from non profits to big names in media and even government and city jobs. I’m also going to include volunteer and internship opportunities for people who are just starting out – people like myself. In fact, I actually have a job posting to share with you today, one that got pulled off Craigslist because it was an internship posting. See below!
