What [I have|have I] been doing

As I mentioned previously, I was to make an entry to let you know to which organizations I have applied. Let's not tell either of my current employers, in the event that I have to lower my head and plead for employment (since James asked that oh so poignant question). Without further ado (cliché of the day), the list:

Doctors Without Borders
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
William J. Clinton Foundation
The Carter Center
Save the Children
Grameen Foundation USA
ACCION International
Geekcorps

and two more that I just submitted and don't want to jinx, yet. I think this may just be a partial listing because I think I've applied to a few more organizations than these. These jobs range from IT specialist to a camp coordinator in Darfur, Sudan. I feel confident stating that I am not uniquely qualified for any of them, but they all seemed like something to which I could have adjusted. And, I've only officially gotten rejections from two of them (I seem to recall).

Again, unless you are actually offering me a position, this is the best place to check the online, realtime status of mattfite's non-profit job search.

Darfur, Sudan?!?

Man, when you want to help people, you don't let anything stop you, do you?

I would totally hire you, if, you know, I had any type of power or position in any of those places to make such decisions. Which, alas, I don't.

technically, i guess i've let those that have chosen not to hire me stop me. but if society is going to label following around a girl you like as "stalking", they'll probably call it something equally as bad if i just started, you know, showing up.

Which, alas, I don't.
everyday i find more we have in common...
