👋🏼 Howdy to all and welcome to new subscribers from California, D.C., New York, Maryland, Texas and beyond. If you have a chance, click reply and say hello. Let me know how you found Future Community and how we can be most helpful.

If you're looking for a job you know all too well you're not alone. On Friday, a friend posted a list of job search links on his LinkedIn. By this morning it had over 1,200 likes and nearly 450 reposts. Also this morning, he posted that he was laid off on Friday.

The job market is a mess, it won't get better soon and, no, you're not alone. So here are several resources for seekers. These are included at the end of the Future Community Jobs page, too. This list is wildly incomplete, of course. Click reply if you've seen something to add to this list. Thank you!

  • The folks at All Hands run a huge jobs list and matchmaking service for people looking for roles in nonprofits and social good tech. They also run a Slack community where jobs get posted weekly and a lot of people support one another in their search.
  • A friend recommended Never Search Alone, a book by Phyl Terry. Best part might be the hundreds of job search councils, local and sector support groups, supported by the book.
  • Democracy Notes, run by Gabriel Lerner, shares out pro-democracy roles in nonprofits, think tanks, foundations and more.
  • Job Opportunities in International Development
  • A Job Opportunities list set up by Pi-Isis Stefana Ankhra.
  • Progressive Job Resources is a brilliant compilation of job lists, boards and groups curated and shared by Allison Ehrich Bernstein.
  • Mandy Hofmockel runs Journalism Jobs and a Photo of My Dog and it is a super compilation of solid news and media roles plus insights on the sector’s hiring trends.
  • Matt Lockshin’s Job list a super source for roles in progressive organizing and digital leadership. Matt also provides recruiting and job search services.
  • Tech Jobs for Good includes hundreds of current tech roles in nonprofits and companies that support nonprofits.
  • Ethical Tech Job Resources is a list of job lists mostly centered around progressive technology in the US and UK. It’s built by the community and maintained by me and Edward Saperia, Dean of Newspeak House in London.
  • Words of Mouth is a weekly newsletter run by Rachel Meade Smith. Words has a fantastic set of new roles in the arts, writing and editing, creative professions.
  • Follow Mandy Van Deven on LinkedIn to get news on open roles in philanthropy and social change leadership around the world. Mandy also shares insights on narrative and systems change.
  • Check out The Nonprofit Hive if you’re working in/around nonprofits and would like to connect with new folks via real conversations. Not job specific but a brilliant way to build a network and learn alongside peers.
  • Daniel Levitt’s Inside the Newsroom newsletter seems to be a solid resource for journalism jobs.

Final notes...

  • Check out last week's article on audience research for groups wanting to build email lists.

  • Forward this to a friend and share it on LinkedIn.
