A San Francisco-based nonprofit (economic development) is looking for a communications director, so any Undergrounder in the area thinking it’s time for a change should check out the listing (pdf alert).

Like so many contemporary communications jobs, this one involves a lot of tech knowledge (Salesforce, WordPress, Dreamweaver, etc).

I remember when a com manager job demanded little more than a certain facility with MS Word; today you need to combine specialized technical skills with clear, engaging writing skills (plus knowledge of the field, and media experience).

Add that together, and you start to wonder just how many qualified candidates actually appear on the radar. (In this economy, I suspect “enough” is the correct answer.)

Keep communicating, Tom Chandler.
