Jobs For People Who Don’t Want A Job (or Jobs For People Who Would Rather Impress Chicks or “Dude, I heard ya’ll are looking for a CEO…”)
If you haven't figured out the best way to raise money for your startup maybe you should just give up and get yourself a cool job instead. I hear chicks love guys with jobs, especially cool ones.
Like one of these:
Writer/Producer/Editor for Bravo
Project Manager – Short Form Video Development for Discovery.com
Sales Executive for MTV Online
CEO for Venture-Backed Startup
Senior Learning Designer, Educational Videogames Startup
(all these jobs are currently listed at indeed.com Nice site!)

Sounds like you’ve been looking for a job.

My Mom taught me to always be looking for a job. Especially when you don't need one.
Actually I look for startups all the time to push my consulting services. The best way to find them is through job posts. Looking at them is just part of my hustle…
I always see interesting posts for jobs I wish I had. Fred's post (a great one btw) made me decide to list some…

hey char,
I’m trying to hire a few interns this summer. http://www.infinimedia.com/jobs/ and best of all, they DON’T need to have experience as CEOs of venture backed firms

True story: I was just hanging out at a bar and one of the guys there had collected rooster semen for a period of time. Although he referred to it as jacking off roosters, he actually had no direct genital contact. Apparently holding the legs and stroking the lower back was all it took. Just a few seconds and you had a petri dish full of the good good!
He does something else now but he said he was responsible for (literally) thousands of rooster ejaculations.
Do you think I could get “chicks” with that story?

You could get chicks creeped out with that story, yeah.
May 18, 2006 at 10:07 am
chicks is a term of endearment. your story was not!

I wouldn’t ever use this story to “get chicks” but then, that’s not what I’m about. However, the really happening women I know would find it amusing.
Personally, I would never use the term “chicks” nor “girls” to describe women who are of age unless they used that term themselves, but it was strange to encounter this post right after having heard that story. The rooster/chick connection was simply a bonus.
By the way, the people I creep out are almost always people I don’t want to have anything to do with anyway. It’s a surprisingly effective filtering mechanism.

Oops, I’ve started writing ProHipHop instead of my name in comments lately. Can’t seem to break the habit even though that’s not what I intended.
