What Services Does the Site Offer?

Jobwonk is a job board for students and professionals looking for opportunities in the Washington DC public affairs, research, and advocacy communities.

What Makes the Site Unique?

Jobwonk is a simple, niche, and local service for the Washington DC community. It offers better value than major classifieds such as The Washington Post and Politico with more relevant opportunities than Craigslist. It's incredibly easy to find jobs specific to your interested by filtering job functions specific to DC area opportunities.

Tips and Tricks

  • If you're interested in working for a non-profit, find organizations that you're passionate about and see if you can offer a lunch meeting with someone who works there.
  • Be patient. DC may be a great market in a weak employment economy but there are a lot of competitive and coveted jobs so it may take a few tries before you get noticed.
  • No one makes it to the top in the beginning. You may start off as an administrative assistant but as long as you're in, take advantage of learning from the experience and building up to the opportunity you seek.
