Please Help Ed Boks Find a Job

Ed's looking for a job.

I am surprised he hasn't found one since I know he has been looking since June of last year. The job opportunities for an ex-shelter director for three major cities is limited in his case to consulting or head of some animal related foundation.

Ed really should get out of the animal management business and into PR or politics.

Here is the link to his resume and request for work:
