Yeah, so this doesn't sound so appealing after Nancy Apple posted about the music-reviewing jobs in warmer climes. This is all I got, so hear me out. <g> Would you like to be the boss of me? My department is looking for an editorial director, and there's $1000 in it for me if I find the right person. I'd consider splitting the cash, too, if you help me out. I work at the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), which is a bigass trade association that publishes five attractive, glossy, content-filled magazines. (F'rinstance, I'm the editor of _IFAI's Marine Fabricator_ and assistant editor of the _Industrial Fabric Products Review_.) Unlike many editorial departments, we all work together well and everyone plays a part in everyone else's mag--we're a very collaborative group with relatively little bickering and unpleasantness. We're looking for an editorial director with the following attributes: *plenty of editorial experience (duh!) *managerial experience * an open mind and a good sense of humor *a fairly accurate idea of what *good* trade magazines are supposed to turn out like. You'd be supervising 6 people, and making a heck of a lot more than I do. And in case nobody's told you, the Twin Cities are great, with lovely lakes, groovy shopping districts, A GREAT MUSIC SCENE, a high standard of living, etc. Don't let the snow scare you; we just brag about how cold it is so we look tough. Tell your friends. And if anyone's interested, please contact me ASAP at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers, Jamie S.
