GET A JOB

Good jobs with good people

Today is the last day to apply to be a spring apprentice on our team. This is a great opportunity for student or recent grads to gain some experience, learn from some really smart folks (*ahem*) and work on projects that matter. All of our apprenticeships are paid and remote friendly.

Elsewhere, ProPublica is hiring a data fellow, Religion News Service has an immediate opening for a full-time Web Developer and Chicago Reporter is hiring a data editor.

This week's guest contributor

Our guest this week is Damon Sharp (@damonsharp), a developer at Alley Interactive.

This article from Carrie Dils resonated with me as it probably does with some of you, especially the “A Tale of a Job I Hated” section. It’s important to remember what the important things in your life are and determine how much of your time and energy you want to put into them. As I get older I try to take inventory on each aspect of my life and determine if I want to expend energy on it, is it important to me, and if I were to reflect back on that time spent was it worth it? If you know for sure it’s not, it’s time to make a plan to move on to something that fits those criteria. After all life is short. Don’t waste it on things that aren’t meaningful to you.
