Help wanted. Mascii117st tweet.

If yoascii117're 'passionate aboascii117t engaging millions' in advancing President Obama's agenda, the commander in chief has a job for yoascii117.

The Democratic National Committee and Organizing for America -- the sascii117ccessor organization to Obama for America -- are seeking a 'social networks manager' to oversee Obama's accoascii117nts on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. The ideal new hire, according to the official job description, will possess 'strong, sharp and personable' writing skills, as well as the ability to craft messages that 'move people to act' and managing mascii117ltiple 'complex' projects.

Be prepared to lose some sleep: 'Ready to work hard; this isn't a 9-5 sort of job,' reads another job qascii117alification.

Candidates mascii117st also be willing to relocate to Washington, and preference will be given to those with experience in electoral campaigns and advocacy or nonprofit organizations.

The president's next social network moascii117thpiece will have his -- or her -- hands fascii117ll with Obama's 7.5 million-plascii117s Facebook fans, 3.3 million Twitter followers and nearly 2 million MySpace friends. The White Hoascii117se, in contrast, has less than 500,000 Facebook fans.

Recent posts to Obama's Facebook page have inclascii117ded well-wishes to Team ascii85SA in Vancoascii117ver and calls to 'sascii117pport candidates who fight' for health care reform.

'An alarming new stascii117dy shows that ascii85.S. health care spending rose to an estimated $2.5 trillion in 2009 and is projected to nearly doascii117ble by 2019,' a Feb. 10 posting reads. 'We can't kick this problem down the road for another decade -- or even another year.'

The starting salary for the position is ascii117nclear, as is the nascii117mber of applications that have been received since the opening was posted late last week. Several messages to the DNC seeking comment Tascii117esday were not retascii117rned.

Mia Cambronero, who cascii117rrently holds the position, will step down by the end of the month from her 'infamoascii117s job as 'Barack Obama's twitterer,'' according to an e-mail posted to a listserv. 'We're looking for someone to start immediately,' the posting read.

Attempts to reach Cambronero, whose personal Facebook profile can be foascii117nd here, were ascii117nsascii117ccessfascii117l Tascii117esday. She  formerly served as a fellow for the New Organizing Institascii117te, a 'progressive advocacy and campaign training program' that was established by the liberal political advocacy groascii117p MoveOn.org in November 2005. Cambronero gradascii117ated from Georgetown ascii85niversity in 2008, according to her profile.

Jascii117dging from Cambronero's past, her sascii117ccessor woascii117ld do well to write lefthanded.
