Forgive my tardiness in broadcasting this fact to long-suffering FrontBurnervians, but our events editor position at D Magazine has recently reopened.
We’re hoping to find a real detail-oriented team player, a “people person” with a truly unique skill set, someone who knows that at the end of the day you’ve got to think outside the box, and have a true passion for communicating with others through PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets. If you’re not a proactive self-starter, the kind of strategic thinker who works well under pressure and knows and does what it takes to get the job done, then you need not apply.
Or just read the real ad after the jump.
