Good morning folks! This is the third Jobs, Opportunities and Funding Dispatch. And yes, it’s really September 27th, 2018 and you get a bonus in that you get two emails this week. Partly because I was traveling over the weekend and I’m moving back to DC today and will be adjusting to my new space before working at the coffeehouse over the weekend. Baltimore, we had a good time and I look forward to many visits. But it’s time to make this commute make sense and not make me think (and that’s putting that lightly), as I’m doing in the picture leading this dispatch. Speaking of commutes, maybe one of these jobs or opportunities is worth commuting to…
First of all, Jessica Roberts sent out a few more jobs this week as well, many that have close dates tomorrow (Friday, September 28, 2018).

Plus, a longtime friend of the platform, Kimberlee Archie, tagged me on LinkedIN with a great opportunity to come to Asheville and work in her department as a Training Consultant for Diversity and Inclusion. The job’s really tempting to me, as I think the world of anything North Carolina mountains or cities in mountain valleys period, but I think you’ll really like it if that’s you too.
And Facebook group member Patrice Brady sent along not just one, but two Planner II positions for the City of Columbus, Ohio with an emphasis on historic preservation. Bachelors degree with two years of relevant experience or masters degree with one year of experience is required. You can send your application materials to the attention of or reach out to Tamara Sanford with questions.
Also, if you missed the earlier dispatch from this week it’s here.
And finally, if you want to add jobs and opportunities the best way to do so is to email me at kristen@theblackurbanist.com, to tag me on your job posts on LinkedIN or other social media networks, share it in The Black Urbanist Facebook group, or tag me on any tweets or social media posts of job.
The goal with this list is that these are jobs you are either a point of contact for, either as a future colleague or hiring manager or can mentor applicants to producing a successful application. I may also pick out some of your social media accounts that are excellent resources for good leads.
I believe that while being a prepared or preferred candidate may not be a job guarantee, it will start the process of building a bigger group of mentors and friends for all of us throughout the industry and in the communities we both serve and live.
Plus, I’ve heard from multiple people that my post where I included some questions to ask and traps to avoid when considering this career field has helped them decide on planning school and also have a better balance of their career.
Have a great week and I’ll see you here on or shortly after next Friday, October 5th.
