*** One Paragraph Pitch:
Hello Ned:
My information follows below for the next JOTW.
I appreciate at this opportunity very much. I've been laid off since
Sept. 2 — I'm sure you're hearing a lot of stories about layoff these
days. But every little bit of help makes a big difference.
Marina
What's missing from your Communications and/or Public Relations team?
Marina Mathews!
Marina has her B.A. degree in Communication Arts from Concord College in
Athens, WV and has progressively built her communications, media, public
relations, marketing and web experience through her role in corporate
communications teams as a PR Manager, Staff writer and most recently the
Senior Marketing Manager at 1-800-PACK-RAT, LLC. She has excellent
writing skills and spent seven years at The Herald-Dispatch in
Huntington, W.VA. Marina has consistently assumed a leadership role in
every position she has held. At GEICO she introduced a popular news
feature to the company's intranet site, which remains the most popular
news item of associates. She orchestrated a redesign of the corporate
newsletter — adding color, more photos, and “news you can use” stories
— to the delight of associates. At Coldwell Banker, where she was the
regional public relations manager for DC/MD/VA, Marina spear-headed the
roll out of the company's first-ever intranet site and maintained the
site's content as the editor. She also created a style guide for all web
content. At 1-800-PACK-RAT, she was instrumental in identifying key
partners for an affinity marketing program and implemented a highly
touted e-mail campaign which got the attention of management and key
stakeholders due to its sales success and low investment of company
dollars. She implemented a GIS (geographic information system) that
targeted sales territories and supported the expansion of the
1-800-PACK-RAT,LLC footprint across the US.
Marina is results-driven, creative, even-keeled, a highly functioning
multi-tasker and is willing to roll up her sleeves to get the work done
needed to meet your company's objectives. If you (or someone you know)
have an Communications and/or Public Relations opening at your company,
please contact Marina at (240) 277-3803 or marhwv@aol.com. Also visit
her profile at Linkedin to read recommendations concerning Marina's work

*** Hello Keeper of the Subscription Lists:
I have not received a posting from you in a few weeks and wanted to
remind you that I have a new email address that I would like you to use
from now on. btw, I was receiving your emails at my old email address.
If there is a problem sending me the JOTW pls. contact me at your
earliest convenience so we can sort it out.
These listings are very important to me as I am actively looking for a
job.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
R
(Remind me? I can't change your email address for you. If you put a
new address on an out of office reply, understand that some weeks I
receive a hundred out of office replies in ten minutes. I delete them.
Here's what you need to do to change your JOTW email address. I cannot
do this for you. Send a blank email from your OLD account to
JOTW-unsubscribe@topica.com. Then, send a blank email from your NEW
account to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.)

*** Where's my JOTW?
Ned,
I have been a long time subscriber to JOTW and Defense JOTW.
I have been sending repeated emails with my new email address and
nothing happened.
Now the access to my former email address is gone and I assume the
newsletters are bouncing back.
Any suggestions for what to do?
Thank you.
Mary
(I checked, and do not see your email on the list. I sent you an
invite. Accept it.
Let me know that you got two of them.)
If replying to your email about this doesn't constitute acceptance of
the invite then I am stymied — don't see an invite…???
(No. To “invite” somebody, I go to my page in Topica and enter your name
in the “Invite Subscribers to Join Your List” box. You then get an
email from Topica.
Maybe your spam filter blocked it, or it is in your junk mail folder.
If sending a blank email to jotw-subscribe@topica.com doesn't work, and
you
are not getting the “invitations,” I don't know what to say.)
Ned,
The key turned out to be looking in my spam folder — I am not so
familiar with the way gmail works yet and had not checked that folder.
I am signed up and things are zooming along.
thank you again!
Mary
(See. I am the most amazing man on the planet.)
THAT was never in any doubt!
M.
*** Regarding last week's issue:
What?? No subject for the JOTW (guess that means no predicate either),
AND no scouting report on Marquette's NCAA Tourney prospects? You need
another cup of java, Ned.
JP
(Good point. I noticed that mistake not as I pushed the send button as
usual, but when it showed up in the in-basket.
As for MU, tough call. They play a 30-4 team. True, USU didn't play
anybody really good, but they didn't lose to anybody much either. And
that bracket is playing in Boise, which is almost like a home game for
Utah State.)

*** JOTW Rock and Roll Trivia Quiz:
The origins of this band moved up to a fusion of hard rock and a
classical symphonic sound, and a new name. The “new” band covered a
song popularized by the original group. And as the new incarnation
gained popularity, it cut the strings from it's formula and picked up a
more mainstream pop sound. The band's first Dick Clark TV appearance
featured a Chuck Berry classic. The group had 20 US top 40 Billboard
hits, and sold more than 100 million albums, but never had a number 1
hit. The creative force behind this band later teamed up with Tom Petty,
Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Ray Orbison.
(Answer? The answer is posted now on the JOTW webpage. Visit
www.nedsjotw.com. Read previous questions and answers at
http://www.nedsjotw.com/blog/JOTWRocknRollTriviaQuiz.)
*** Last week's Trivia Quiz:
Joe Walsh…
At first I thought it was Glenn Fry.
You didn't post the answer yet!
JH
(You were right. I thought I had posted the quiz, and dated it to go
active on the site at midnight. But I guess I didn't quite get the job
done.)
*** Midnight man:
At first I thought the gangster might refer to the gangster of love, Mr.
Steve Miller, but the other clues led me to the fabulous Joe Walsh!
“How ya doin” was the standard greeting for my friends and I in the 80s
when Joe Walsh hosted an off the wall Saturday night radio program here
in LA.
“My Meseratti does 185, I lost my license now I don't drive” is one of
my favorite rock and roll lyrics. And sometimes my inspiration when I
can't drive 55.

Hi Ned-
Love your newsletter/blog. I was a subscriber until I moved and changed

potential positions on your site. But for the life of me, I cannot
recall how to open up the job listing section of the site to see the
detailed information. What am I missing? (I did sign up again as a

Thanks so much for your response. And please pardon my ignorance!

*** One Paragraph Pitchers:
Are you hearing positive things from other posters? Has it resulted in
some interest, phone calls, interview for them?
(Yes, but there is no way to generalize. Some people don't put their
best foot forward and wonder why they don't get called. Others get
hired. Some get interest or interviews. But all them get the
satisfaction of at least doing SOMETHING! Sometimes, when you are out
of work, doing something positive for yourself becomes pretty
important.)
