Now hiring: The White House new media shop
@ 3:43 pm by Jeremy P. Jacobs

Looks like the White House is hoping to beef up its online presence by hiring some new tech-savvy employees.

Rock Creek Strategic Marketing is listing four openings for positions in Obama's Office of New Media. One of the openings is for a "Spanish Language Website Content and Producer," which could mean we'll be seeing a Spanish version of WhiteHouse.gov soon.

If you are one of those campaign workers that didn't land a job in the administration, maybe one of these positions is for you.

From Rock Creek Strategic Marketing:

Web Videographer and Multimedia Producer

Rock Creek Strategic Marketing, a leading Washington, DC metro area branding, strategy, and communications firm, seeks a web videographer and multimedia producer for an on-site position with the White House Office of New Media.

Strong preference given to candidates currently residing in the DC metro area. U.S. Citizenship required.

Web Video Editor and Production Assistant

1. Damn, I really need a job and I could easily handle the first two.
But I also don't want to move to DC.

2. I wish they were looking for someone who can handle the technical stuff.
I can handle the technical parts of maintaing a server and websites, but it sounds like they're looking for creative types for producing content.
