I know first hand that this is a great office to work in, the board is mindful, aware, considerate and supportive.  The professional team at the Edgartown Town Hall is one of the best in the state - professional, supportive, caring of each other, and ready to step in to assist if needed.  I can't recommend this workplace enough - really great place to work - and great people to work with.  The salary range is solid, the operating budget is generous, and the support that one would get from administration is second to none.

The deadline to submit an application is this Friday, and in-person interviews will be scheduled in Edgartown on Tuesday night.  If you know of ANYONE who (a) wouldn't mind commuting from off-island (Falmouth? Mashpee? Bourne, anywhere in Barnstable County, actually), this is a great opportunity.

On the sub-rosa:  I know that a person who wants to break into "planning" could also find themselves a home here as a clerk for the department, working full-time at a reduced wage while learning the ropes, and moving into the full-time position within (say) a year, after proving their mettle, and learning the ins and outs of permitting.  This would be a great person who's got some college under their belt, and want to take a break, or are just good and clever, and want to work into a career-level position the easy way.

PLEASE pass this on to anyone, but also please let them know that they REALLY need to get their application into Maria Ventura (Edgartown's HR office) by email by COB this week (Friday, 7/14).

Folks can reach out to me at the number below if they have questions.

Respectfully,

- Doug.
