“Dear PoPville,

Where’s good to find jobs in D.C.? I know the route for federal jobs, but I haven’t job-hunted in the private/nonprofit/contract/etc. sector in a long time. Are the Washington Post’s job listings still supposed to be the best, or have they been overtaken by national websites like Indeed and LinkedIn? Are there D.C.-specific sites, listserves, etc. I should be looking at? I am WAY out of the game and would love some advice/tips.”

OP adds:

“I remember several years ago, there was a listserv for D.C.-area communications-oriented jobs. Anyone know if this still exists? So far all I can find is something much broader, covering public affairs (including lobbying, etc.) and communications. I’m looking for writing- and editing-related jobs.”
