And So We Begin to Rise.....

Dear all,

I (the Editor of this blog) will be posting a little less frequently over the next month or so, as some major deadlines are approaching me rapidly and I'm moving to Brazil at the end of February on a Fulbright Fellowship.

Please continue to send your words and thoughts, and please keep stopping by and checking out the blog and some of our previous posts. If you are a new visitor to this blog, WELCOME!!!

Also, Obama is going to officially be President SO FREAKING SOON!! YEAHHHHH!!!!!!

Aside from these comments, I have a few tidbits of information for you, and will be posting more soon hopefully, because the world turns so fast and there is always something filthy gorgeous to say. So here goes:

1. :

If you want to search for jobs opening up in government, *click here* or:

here --> http://www.gpoaccess.gov/plumbook/>

to connect to a book that lists all the jobs available to work in the Obama Administration. This is a government publication, released after every Presidential election.

If you see titles of jobs but you don't know what they're about, *click here* or:

here --> http://www.bls.gov/OCO/

to link to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, which will explain to you what different jobs are about. If you scroll to the bottom of the main page, you can search for a job title by the letter of the alphabet. This handbooks is also a publication of the US government.

If you find a job that looks interesting to you and you want to apply for it, *click here* or:

here --> http://change.gov/

to go to the Obama Transition Team's website where you can email them an application for a job that you are interested in.
