Happy New Year’s Eve! Last year we featured Martinelli’s, the manufacturer of sparkling cider, in celebration of the end of 2007. This year we’re going to take a look at some jobs that couldn’t be more intertwined with New Year’s Eve. Times Square Alliance is a non-profit organization that “works to improve and promote Times Square – cultivating the creativity, energy and edge that have made the area an icon of entertainment, culture and urban life for over a century.” Times Square for New Year’s Eve isn’t on my list of things to do, but for many people it’s a big deal. I’m sure that there will be millions of people there tonight, so why not use tonight’s celebration to generate ideas for your job search in the New Year. Oh yeah, and if your New Year’s resolution includes landing a new job, you absolutely need to check out our job search training course.

A New Job in the New Year

What does the Times Square Alliance do? They take care of the Times Square area year round. They “provide core neighborhood services with Public Safety Officers and Sanitation Associates; promote local businesses; encourage economic development and public improvements; co-coordinate numerous major events in Times Square (including the annual New Year’s Eve and Broadway on Broadway celebrations); manage the Times Square Information Center; and advocate on behalf of their constituents with respect to a host of public policy, planning and quality-of-life issues.” That’s a big responsibility, which is why they’re hoping to add new team members in the New Year. Current entry level job openings include Communications Associate and Public Safety Officers. There are a couple of other jobs posted as well, but they appear to require significant prior work experience. To apply for a job with Times Square Alliance, send a cover letter and resume to hr@timessquarenyc.org.
