Not primarily for themselves, but in an interesting sort of jobs fair that seeks to pair up employable adults who combine leadership and organizational skills with computer literacy with grassroots organizations who need that kind of help.

Are you an organization that's working to use technology the way MoveOn does, to help people connect and mobilize? Are you having trouble finding the right people to make it happen?

Are you one of those people who could fill this need?

Today is your opportunity to make the connection.

Within our team, we've identified a crucial role we call (affectionately) the Geek Organizer. No, that's not an organizer of geeks. It's a person who combines the leadership and communication skills of a political organizer with the technical skills of a computer nerd. How rare are these people? We don't know. But we know they exist, because we've built our organization around them.

At MoveOn.org, we need these people, right now. And we know that among our contacts are many progressive organizations that have a similar immediate need. We're betting that among our membership we have the talent we're looking for. So we'd like to invite you to join us in an experiment: A two-week campaign to identify Geek Organizers and match them to opportunities in the community. It's a virtual job fair.

Here's a link to a small test you can take if you're not sure you're a true geek organizer.

Here's a link if you are or know of an organization that needs such people.

Here's a link that should take you to a page where you can find out how to sign up via email.

You can do so until March 5th. The next week comes the pairing and introductions.

Spread the word.
