Job Inquiries

Dear,
I contacted your offices in April because I was interested in knowing about the types of jobs or internships which may be available at your organization in the coming months.  NS informed me in the email below that I should check back in May.
While the attached email and resume should be sufficient in describing my qualifications, I thought I would let you know that I have been interested in working with your organization for many years.
I believe that advocating for more production of affordable housing is especially pertinent today.  San Francisco, a leader in affordable housing development, is looking at a period of great change in the coming decade and I am interested in being a part of that change.  Having had the occasion to attend several conferences and forums organized by the Southern Association for Housing over the past few years, I have identified the Housing Corporation as the type of firm at which I would like to work.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Master's Candidate

March Job Search

On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 5:21 PM I listed three different tiers for a job search:
low quality customer service
high end service
professional.

For the professional tier there are two websites listed below. I can take these websites and turn them into a set of indicators and then identify jobs that are good for me.

For the high end service jobs I can look at the 856 website. However, after I have looked at the Jobs in Geography sites and have interacted with some of the people that are involved I can change this second tier into something that is more appropriate.

For the low quality service jobs I need a job for the interregnum. I have already developed a list of jobs that will put me in position for the more high end stuff.


For the first tier I found two sites on Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 1:20 PM:
http://www.sfhistory.org/index.php?pageid=4
http://www.aag.org/cs/careers

I called them a “lead” for producing a body of research and literature. Basically I need to create a “work flow” although I am not certain that this is an appropriate name. These two sites should identify a profile of firms and job classifications to look for. I need to produce a general composite for it. These profiles should have a list of indicators. The indicators will likely be stuff like income, job descriptions and/or market sectors.

After this I need to create a list of corporate and non-profit organizations which these indicators identify and look for jobs that are listed with in them.

I did up a resume and have a CV from a bit ago.

I looked on the site for 856 and there are a few leads there

I then opened up this note taking venue.

I chose this one because it has the look of a diary. However, I want to link to emails and I don't know if I can do that from a blog.

I have also established that I need to send out a couple of resumes or applications every two days. Hence, on the first Wednesday I don't and the rest of the week I do and the next week it is MWF.

On Tuesday this week I sent out a couple of resumes and I did so again today. Two parking companies, I bike rental company and an electric tour company.

Initiative Coordinator

Dear South Coalition,

I read about the Initiative Coordinator position two weeks after it had been announced. The announcement had no closing data for the application process, so I am assuming that you are still accepting applications. I have attached mine to this email. Please let me know that you have received it.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you very much,

Geography

I have experience with GIS

Dear,

So nice to see you at the Library. I have been doing homework for this GIS refresher. Really easy stuff. I want to get back into doing the meaty stuff like what you do. I attached a resume. I am certain that I am the person your company wants. After two years working with a community groups of various stripes (such as SAH) I finally took an internship with SA, where I was able to learn more about how GIS is used in an office enviroment.

I have worked for many semesters here at school as a lab tech too (as I am sure you remember) but with my thesis research winding down I have begun looking for work as a Geographer. You mentioned that your organization may have some job opportunities available and I figured that since some of my classmates have worked there, I would fit in just fine.
