Job: Senior Content Strategist @ Vocalo.org

Mashable Jobs is a great resource for those playing at a higher level than, uh, me. That said, here's a very cool looking job at Vocalo.org for a Senior Content Strategist:

"This person will be responsible for providing the vision and direction to grow our audience on-air and online. In this role, you’ll be developing ways Vocalo.org can best reach its audience on multiple platforms, and how we can harness social media to deepen audience participation."

I'd never heard of Vocalo.org but the job description makes it sound like a great project with which to be involved:

"Vocalo.org is a new project created by Chicago Public Radio. Vocalo.org is where we play the stories, music, and other audio that our users and listeners create and upload to our site. We then broadcast it on our FM signal that reaches an audience in Chicago and Northwest Indiana. We believe in the power of public conversation, and making media accessible to voices that normally don’t get heard."

Jobs in Hip-Hop: In Development

I'm always hesitant to post new industry sites because it's tough keeping them going long term and most don't stay in the game but Jobs in Hip-Hop is a good idea and they posted a Festival Music Blogger job I meant to get up.

However, right now the Jobamatic hosted version is a bit easier to use and more compelling.

But what's up with the RSS feeds? Jobs in Hip-Hop doesn't seem to have one and the Jobamatic feed doesn't seem to be working.

Let's give them some traffic and encourage them to work out the bugs while I contemplate the possible return of ProHipHop Jobs!

G-Unit Promotions Seeks Street Team Members

G-Unit Street Team Killaz

G-Unit Records is seeking promoters, i.e., street team members judging from the fine print at the end of the video and it looks like they're building 50 Cent's social network in the process.

Here's the note via ganggeneral:

G-Unit Records is always looking for new promoters from all over the country to help represent the company. G-Unit Records to date has sold over 50 million records worldwide with the help of some of the world's best promo teams. Therefore we are always looking for the best of the best promoters.

Candidates for G-unit Promoters must be at least 17 years old, must have access to a digital camera, a computer, and an email address. If you feel you have what it takes to help take G-Unit Records to the next level, send an email to GUNITPROMOTIONS@AOL.COM, explaining all of the following:

A little bit about yourself, your age, your hometown, and why you would be the perfect candidate to represent G-Unit Records.

There may be more info at thisis50.com/profile/gunitpromotions but you've got to join the social network to get to it.

The video has some interesting street promotions but the best part is the fact that every song in the video focuses on shooting and killing.  Guess that's just 50 but it's a good reminder about what you'll be promoting: Entertainment!
