potential job! I'm qualified and I like the company!!


Spitfire Strategies, a strategic communications firm, is seeking a Training Coordinator to take on a range of event planning work. This position could be housed in Spitfire’s new San Francisco office, or in our DC headquarters.

(look look, xatharine, San Francisco! I could start in DC and move out there...maybe...)

The Training Coordinator will provide support to the Vice President in charge of training programs. Job responsibilities will focus on coordinating all logistical aspects of executive nonprofit training programs including communicating with clients, negotiating contracts with vendors, responding to participant inquiries, outreach and correspondence to participants and presenters, creation of training materials, assistance with participant recruitment, and database development and maintenance. Other duties may include media tracking and list building, Internet research, writing and general office and client support. Successful candidates will possess the following qualities:

*Office experience required (event planning experience strongly preferred);
*Attention to detail and excellent oral and written communications skills;
*A strong customer service ethic;
*Proven ability to meet deadlines, juggle multiple projects and work independently in a fast-paced environment;
*Expertise in using MS Office software and Internet research tools; and
*A demonstrated interest in helping to promote positive social change.

Spitfire Strategies provides communications counsel and trainings for nonprofit groups and foundations dedicated to positive social change. Spitfire's clients work on a wide range of issue areas including the environment, democracy, public health, children's health and criminal justice. To learn more about the firm, please visit our Web site at www.SpitfireStrategies.com.

If this sounds like the job for you, please submit a cover letter explaining why you are a good fit for Spitfire, along with a resume, brief writing sample (no more than three pages in length), and salary requirements...

I have all that in spades. Now just to finish the cover letter (it's too long right now), polish up a writing sample, send it off... and hope!


In other job news, I have an interview for a job on Friday at 2 PM. I think I will avoid saying more about that position until things have progressed a bit further, though... I'm not holding my breath on other stuff. I'm so excited about the Spitfire thing! If they like me and can afford me...!

Most of those are things I'd ask about in an interview (if they interview me). I think their client list is not long, but does include some stars (the Knight foundation, among others), and is perhaps not bad for a 3 or 4 year-old company.
