Help Wanted Goes On the Air

Meet Naomi, Alyson, Maryli, Ginger and Jim

Well, they did it! Each of our first five Help Wanted Facebook Forum contributors spent some time getting to know Brian Lehrer and our listeners on-air. You can hear them, as well as some stories we did about the job market, by following the links to each day below.

We say hello and goodbye to Ginger, our first graduate. We'll soon have another job seeker take her place. We always welcome more people to apply for one of the author positions here, but anyone is welcome to post comments, advice or questions on our Facebook page. Even if you don't have a Facebook account, you can visit the site and see what's being talked about.
