I've been a slacker about promoting Ypulse Jobs, but since it's the new year, I figured I would remind everyone that we have a job board, and that if you post your job, it will be reposted on the blog and mailed out to over 2600 email subscribers (the number keeps growing). It's only $75 to reach an incredibly targeted audience of youth media and marketing pros. Here are a few cool jobs I found surfing "the board" this morning:
Viz has reposted their job for a Marketing & Promotions Manager with magazine experience. For any mag vets either in San Francisco or who might be interested in relocating here, this is a sweet gig. I've met the folks at Viz on several occasions and visited their offices. Manga is big and only getting bigger, so definitely check out the post and forward the job to anyone you know who might be a fit.
Also, our job board has been a little slow lately, so I wanted to let you know it does work! The folks at Orange Avenue Publishing posted last month and filled the position via Ypulse. It's only $75, so if you have a youth media or marketing gig you're looking to fill, try it out.
Finally, Ypulse is still looking for a sales person who gets the youth market or who just gets selling integrated media packages (web, events, etc.). This will be a paid position with a generous commission structure. Please contact Charles Pelton if you're interested...
As many of you have been reading, Ypulse is expanding. We are looking to hire our first part-time sales exec (15-20 hours a week). We will be paying a modest salary plus commission.

Our ideal candidate is someone familiar with Ypulse (and gets the value of the site and events) as well as having a deep knowledge of the youth media and marketing space. Most importantly, you are able to close the deal ;-) You can be based anywhere, but being in NYC, San Francisco or Los Angeles would be better for potentially meeting with some sponsors in person. If you're interested, please send a cover letter and resume to Charles Pelton - charles at Ypulse.com.
