If you’re looking in Oregon, Mac’s List is a great one.SUMMARY: The Resident Services Coordinator (RSC) assists residents through resources and referrals within designated Central City Concern Fair market and Section 8 Communities. Employers don’t value the endless flow of resumes they bring in. So my personal, and now professional (I was hired by Prichard Communications this year - the very company that produces Mac’s List) advice to finding a good job: network, get names of influencers and get your foot in the door any way you can and don’t rely on the big job sites. You have experience, good references, a tight resume - what does it matter when you can’t get your foot in the door? How many resumes have you sent off into the abyss of automated corporate websites or national job sites never to hear back? A lot? Me, too. Good jobs and fewer applicants, but better applicants. What’s nice about a list like this: it’s curated. Mac’s List is a weekly email newsletter (and website) that features a few dozen Portland-based job openings and resources for folks in communications, public affairs and other fields like non-profits, public agencies and politics, etc. My friend and media colleague (and Portland resident) Amanda sent me some valuable names, links and recommendations at the beginning of the process she also insisted that I sign up for Mac’s List.

But I did find a very cool resource along the way. The short answer is hard work and some good timing. A lot of friends, family and colleagues have asked how I managed to find a job in Portland in such a relatively short time, especially considering the state of the job market.
