EFF is hiring an intake coordinator — that's the person who figures out whether the EFF can help you, whether they can find help for you elsewhere, and what you should do otherwise. It's an amazing job for an aspiring superhero (Julie Lindner, who presently has the job, definitely qualifies — I've lost count of the number of Boing Boing readers she's saved from harrassing DMCA takedowns, legal threats and other online nasties).
Applicant must have general computer skills and knowledge of the Internet. Experience with basic legal issues and familiarity with EFF and our specific issues are also very helpful. This person must have great interpersonal skills, compassion and a sense of humor.
Duties include:
* Greeting visitors
* Answering general organizational telephone and email inquiries
* Performing legal case intake and referrals
* Managing database of cooperating attorneys and technologists
* Coordinating volunteers and part-time staff for support projects
* Assisting staff with assorted administrative tasks
