Hello all! I've been in the process of moving to Europe and will be over there shortly. As part of that, I've been expanding my professional network to include employers in Europe.

What this means: I am able to start passing along résumés to people. Priority is currently for trans people who would benefit from worker visas to leave the United States.

I will be able to post more once I'm over there and I have more connections.

That said, if you're trans and looking for work in the EU, please feel free to DM me what types of jobs you're skilled in and I will let you know if it's in my current network or update you when it is.

ALSO relevant to all of this:

The #NivenlyJobCouncil earlier this year was working on an anonymized job board that would, transparently, really assist with this effort. We're seeing parties interested in using and / or continuing this work.

Therefore:

* If you have expertise in either Go (what the backend is written in), front end development (the front end has yet to be built), or are interested in assisting with the Nivenly Infra team that we're building to manage the projects

AND

* Would like to work on something that will help at risk job seekers find work

Please pop over to our Discord as I'd love to chat with you.

Hello all! We hope you had a restful December as the New Year approaches.

We have two meetings coming up, one for Nivenly and the other for the JSC.

Nivenly's Meeting of the Members will be in approximately one week. Members will have received an email at the address they provided via Open Collective. Members can also log into Open Collective to see the date.

The next #NivenlyJobCouncil meeting will be on 8 Jan, with a message going out to JSC members to choose the time of day.

Current discussions for the Council itself are for roadmapping what it will provide. General discussions are around resumes and other requests for assistance.

Current discussion includes a poll to determine availability for our second meeting next week. Join us!

The first meeting of the #NivenlyJobCouncil completed earlier today and was a great success! 65% of those who registered attended to help build the Job Seekers' Council. For those who missed, the Meeting Minutes are pinned to the Discord channel as is the Doodle for planning the next meeting.

Please feel free to join us! Right now we're at the building phase of the group, which will be iterated on as the group grows, so now is the time!

Does anyone have a good alternative to Google's Jamboard that's not FIgma? (Nothing against Figma, it's just too much tool for the job.)
