Hate Your Well-Paying, High-Profile Job? Be A Jezebel Career Mentor!

When women hop jobs on Wall Street, they're much more likely to maintain their "star power" than men, a Harvard Business School study recently found. The reason was obvious, yet interesting: while men tend to achieve their standing by kissing ass within their respective firms, women look outside their firms to build their networks, in hopes of becoming the types of employees who are indispensable regardless of office politics, secure in their expertise no matter what the internal situation at the office. It totally makes sense; anyone who's ever worked in a male-dominated workplace knows it's usually a waste of time to try and become "one of the guys" when you can keep out of the bullshit and harmlessly flirt with clients instead. And without further ado, well...we're looking for someone who's learned some of these lessons — maybe even the "hard way" — to be our career advice columnist. We're not looking for writers so much as we're looking for a woman who has achieved some modicum of success in a professional field and is searching for an honest outlet to (anonymously) dispense some of her wisdom.

Wanted: Fun-Loving Female; Loves Long Walks In The Weekend Rain

We noticed a few things after putting up our 6-month anniversary post late last month: Readers want less fewer Kim Kardashian, more hot dudes, an advice column (done!), lots more Crap, and less snaps of celebrity spawn. (Take it up with the paparazzi; we take what we can get.) And although we're not able — or willing — to respond to each and every item on our readers' holiday wish lists, we are in agreement that it might be time for a weekend Jezebel... Lord help us. To that end, we're starting a slow but steady search for an editor to oversee the all-important Saturday-through-Sunday slot. (And no, you don't have to be female.) Want to throw your hat into the ring? Email Anna with "Weekend Editor" in the subject header and a little bit about yourself. No attachments please.

Latest by X on the MTA: Hi. My wish is for you to NOT publish on weekends-- seriously. I need to get things done *someday* and, since I work saturdays, that day needs to be Sunday. I also know that if you start posting on Sunday more »

Help Wanted: Be The Jezebel High School Correspondent!

Did you just get home from school? Or would you have just gotten home from school if you hadn't um, had to leave early for a doctor's appointment? (Ha ha, do you realize how funny the idea of using a "doctor's appointment" as an excuse will seem when you are old and uninsured? Don't worry, there's always "food poisoning." That means you're still drunk from the night before, in case you ever go into management and need to lay people off. Anyhow.) Jezebel is seeking a high school correspondent to write about everything from college essays to Shakespeare to bipolar disorder to fake IDs to all the other crap that we hear high school kids are doing these days that no one ever did when we were in high school, like orgies or whatever.

Unretouched Cover Photos Wanted: $10,000 Reward

One of the things about the women's magazine industry that riles us up the most is that the images they feature bear little semblance to reality. This is especially true with regards to the covers, which, as we point out in our manifesto, are essentially female forgeries, what with all the computer-artistry involving airbrushing, contouring, and, sometimes, outright body-part swapping. But calling out magazine editors for their deception is one thing; showing it is another. That's why, as part of our effort to illustrate the magic (and magical thinking!) that goes into the production of the magazines we all love to hate, we're offering $10K to whomever wins our contest for the best un-retouched (that means unaltered in any way!) image to appear on a women's magazine cover in the past two years. As always, we promise your identity will remain anonymous... whether you win or lose. Send your submissions to tips@jezebel.com (standard Gawker Media contest rules apply). And may the best (er, most natural-looking) woman win!
