Volunteer recruiting

The Team needs help with sourcing and onboarding of new volunteers.

Sourcing

Sourcing of potential candidates is an ongoing endeavor, which cannot be limited to the following channels and tools.

Discover your career, build your credentials, and land your job in the IT field with CNM Cyber

What: The CNM Cyber Services team seeks its IT Project Coordinator.

What help is sought: An incumbent will coordinate various aspects of the project as required including meetings, announcements, introducing new team members, and documentation of CNM Technology Board Decisions.

Where and when: The bulk of the job can be done remotely, so this position can be virtual. The schedule can be flexible too. The time commitments start from 2 hours a week.

Who should consider:

Anyone who is motivated to learn Information Technology in order to obtain real IT skills and experience that can be put on the resume and used as a leverage for a new position in the information technology field.

This might be someone thinking of transitioning to IT or increasing their IT skills/knowledge that have been working in IT or someone interested in working in the roles that interface the business with IT such as a business analyst, project manager, product owner, etc.

No prior tech training is required in order to get started; vice versa, this opportunity could be considered as hands-on training. We need people with any type of skill set, but being motivated to learn new, open systems technology, is what we need the most. We can provide technical direction to anyone that is motivated.

How to join: If you are interested (or know of someone who may be interested or looking for a way to become more involved), please consider one or both options:

  1. Physically, the team organizes recruiting events usually in Vienna, VA on Tuesday evenings. You are welcome to check the tentative schedule at https://www.meetup.com/TechDC/events/calendar in order to RSVP.
  2. Virtual meetings may be scheduled upon your request -- please email your inquiry to Michael Confoy or Gary "Igor" Ihar at cnmdigitalservices@gmail.com
