NoTitles Lit mag meets blog, gets jiggy

Blogger of Babylon

Ok, I admit it. I'm an absolute blogging whore. I start a new site or join some new social media outlet damn near every other day. Fine. So be it.

But just as prostitution once was and should again be regarded as a sacred profession, I hope my digital sluttery will serve some higher purpose.

And if not? Well, at least I'm having fun.

With that humble goal in mind, I give you, Women Who Inspire.  There's not a big concept to explain here. It is what it is. It makes me happy.

my best mantra for change

I have determined that while my 20s were all about proving myself and paying my dues, the challenge and focus of my 30s will be pure, unadulterated, unapologetic epicness.

I was nervous about entering the last year of my 20s, but now I'm beginning to see the way forward, and I'm excited.

I don't dare give away too much too soon, but I want to let you in on a little mantra that has lead me through the most spectacular transitions of my life thus far: All the bullshit has got to go.

Seeking pink haired, highly tattooed project manager (my dream job description)

If I ever see this job description in the wild, I am SO on it. Seriously, if you see this opportunity, hook a sister up.

You:

A smart, savvy, motivated project manager who's interested in learning new skills, meeting new people, and traveling to new places. You're a lovely person to work with, lots of fun, very caring toward coworkers and clients alike (in a professional manner, of course), but you're not afraid to be called a bitch. You do what needs to be done to finish the job, and you believe in doing it right. If your name is on a project, you want it to be flawless. Even when you're working behind the scenes, you believe in giving your all 100% of the time. No, you're not a workaholic, but you take pride in a job well done, and you understand that when your job is done properly, everyone around you has the opportunity to succeed as well. You think outside the box so much that phrases like "think outside the box" annoy the bejeezus out of you. You view yourself as a solutions person and a facilitator -- you are constantly looking for ways to make everything around you better.

Us:

A forward-thinking, tech company. We believe in making amazing things happen, and we specialize in hiring geniuses and giving them the opportunity to do the work they were born for. We understand that happy employees do the best work, so we provide a friendly and diverse work atmosphere with plenty of room for you to learn, grow, and challenge yourself. It's not all nerds with Nerf guns, though -- although there is plenty of that -- we work hard to produce results we can be proud of. We value creativity, honesty, and collaboration.

Required Experience:

Project management in a technical field
Engineer babysitting

Desirable Personal Characteristics:

Lots of nerve
Attention to detail
Openness to adventure
Smack talk with the best of them

Active practice of gratitude
Pride in your work
Remembering to say "please" and "thank you"
Excellent written and verbal communication
Ability to responsibly enjoy a drink or two with coworkers or clients

Things You Will Never Be Required to Do:

Play golf
Make small talk about professional sports
Answer questions about why you don't have children
