There is a good job board for technical folk on Silicon Florist:
http://siliconflorist.com/jobs/
Things like UI Designer, Software Testers, PHP Developers, and some salesy stuff.
If you can deal with a trip to Hillsboro then you could do customer care at Yahoo!, which I can only imagine is a pretty weird gig. Also, Netflix has jobs out in Hillsboro.
Metro has a listing for a Senior Elephant Keeper at the Oregon Zoo, as well as some other jobs.
A wide array of jobs listed on the RACC site, including NBC TV Pilot crew, stage manager for PCS, Associate Instructor for NW Documentary, and a link to some pretty specific jobs at LAIKA.
I mean, who knew there was a PHONE NUMBER you could call if you had problems with your Netflix? What kind of demographic would it even occur to to call that number? I think you get the picture.
There is also a Exec Dir of the Bainbridge Arts and Humanities Council (Seattle) that DOS alumni would be perfect for. And E-bay development is about to staff up in Portland.

Any interest in being a Community Resource Coordinator with the IPRC? I hear they may be looking for one in the near future. From the IPRC newsletter:
"...As part of our Strategic Plan, the Board of Directors and I are working to address this issue, and to create a more comfortable and productive space for members and users. Among other goals, we want to:
Expand our Letterpress Studio, Zine Library, Production Room and community areas.
Purchase four new IMacs as part of a much-needed Computer Lab upgrade.
Hire a Community Resource Coordinator to better organize and operate the IPRC’s creative resources, and to also train and support our current volunteers."
Just a thought!
Thank you for your suggestion! That is seriously right up my alley. I went in and talked to Justin today about it so I will definitely be applying when they formally call for resumes in July. Thank you!
By the way, any news on your two job prospects?...
And...YES! I got the job I wanted so badly! I couldn't be happier. Thanks for asking.
