THE SAD & THE FUNNY: NONPROFIT JOBS CORNER

NONPROFIT JOBS CORNER

THE SAD:

A recent job search turned up this position advertisement:

Litigation Attorney
Disability Rights Legal Center
http://www.idealist.org/match/851494920-305
Los Angeles, CA
Salary: $48,510 per year depending on experience plus excellent benefits

Imagine graduating from Law School to find this salary! How will the Disability Rights Center recruit good talent with this offer???

THE FUNNY

Add it to my "new favorite job title":

1) I just had to read the job announcement for this one: Chief People Officer
Seems this is what they're calling a Human Resources Manager today. I remember when I thought calling People "Human" resources (as opposed to natural resources like petroleum I suppose) was egregious. What exactly was wrong with "Personnel Manager" again?

2) This is almost as good as (yes it is real!): Dream Coordinator - I've always wanted to coordinate dreams but I keep getting sleepy...

Dream Coordinator
Dream Foundation is searching for a highly motivated and committed individual to coordinate dream granting in our Los Angeles office.

3. Do you have "Poker" and "Table Tennis" on your Resume? This is a real job posting for an Engineer position!

REQUIRED SKILLS:
  • Ruby on Rails Experience
  • SEO (Search Engine Optimization) knowledge
  • CSS based HTML presentation
NICE TO HAVE SKILLS:
  • Table Tennis
  • Poker
4) Underwear Affair Participant Coach Needed - Another one, this one on Craigslist. I almost want to do the job just to put it on my resume.

Pam, you would not believe how low government and nonprofit attorney salaries are. Sadly, that salary is right in line with the going rate for entry level NGO and public sector salaries for new attorneys. And they have inched a bit higher since i graduated law school in '99.

All my best,

That's z crazy salary but i suppose they can offer low, knowing that they'll still get a good response. It would be a great job to have on your CV for the first few years of your career
