2) DCCA seeks part-time (highly qualified) 'education assistant'

By the way, I love these job postings that basically read: work part time so we don't have to pay you benefits, be little more than a girl / boy Friday, and oh, by the way, we'd like you to have a related masters degree and to be able to submit a "writing sample".  Do these candidates exist?  Employers are obviously banking on the idea that, in this economy, they do.  Well good luck to employer and employment-seekers.
