Maybe someone can give me some advice about how to do this.
The volunteer coordinator where I volunteer recently emailed us to let us know that one of the current employees is leaving. I want to ask if a job opening might now be coming up so that I don't miss it, but I'm not sure what a tactful way to ask would be. I don't want to imply that a potential job is the only reason I've been volunteering (it's not, but also, they all but said that's not cool on the volunteer application even though they have mentioned in person strategies to get hired there, so...it's mixed?). Any advice on how to phrase this sort of thing? Or what not to say?
I think I want to say something like "I saw XXX is leaving and I'm wondering if you know or can tell me if a job opening may be posted. I might be interested in applying if one comes up."
I realize this is really informal, but they know me reasonably well. Thoughts?
