This is JOTW newsletter number 940
“Not in his goals but in his transitions is man great”

“Goals are dreams with deadlines.”
– Diana Scharf Hunt
*** Welcome to the JOTW network.
*** This week’s newsletter is sent to you from London.
*** To post a job, just send the position, organization and location with a link or contact info for follow-up or replying to Ned at lundquist989@cs,ciom. Posting a job is free. Jobs will be sent out in the free weekly newsletter, which usually comes out on Mondays for free. The newsletter, with all of these great employment opportunities, is then posted for free at www.nedsjotw.com, which is a free website. Recruiters can submit up to three jobs for free. Each job listing may be posted once in the newsletter for free. Did I mention that all this is free?
You can send job or other announcements to the entire list of 11,500-plus communication professionals right away using the exclusive JOTW “Can’t Wait” posting for a very reasonable cost of just $300. “Can’t Wait” announcements are also posted to the website (www.nedsjotw.com) and will be posted in the next JOTW newsletter, too. So if you can’t wait until the next newsletter, or have more than three jobs to share, or you want to repost a position, or just want Ned to make a few dollars for all of his effort, then the “Can’t Wait” option is right for you. Also, it gets immediate, high-impact results. To send a “Can’t Wait” announcement, contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.
*** Top Jobs: Stand above the rest. Your job can be right here, at the top of the weekly JOTW newsletter. Top job placement costs $100 per job per week. To be on top, contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.

You are among 11,578 subscribers in this community of communicators. While this level has been pretty flat over the past year or so, this does represent an all-time high for the JOTW network.
*** The JOTW network is built upon cooperative principles. Share, and reap the benefits. And it feels good to help others. I call it selfish altruism. But this also means you need to contribute.
*** I can’t change your e-mail address for you. But you can. Send a blank e-mail from your old account to JOTW-unsubscribe@topica.com. Then send a blank e-mail from your new account to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.
*** The general JOTW policy is to submit three listings per corporate recruiter or executive search firm submission. If you have more than three listings, I suggest sending out a Can’t Wait posting.

*** JOTW Community Conversation:
While enjoying a proper Sunday afternoon pub meal with Gloria Walker, we came up with a good idea. Using the power of this network, we want to plan a JOTW community conversation—perhaps a global “chat” discussion over a 48 hour period (so people could come and go depending on where they are in the world). The subject could be something such as “What is the future of our profession?” It would be like going to a roundtable discussion, but virtual, sort of global, yes, that’s it, global, so a reeeaallly round table.
Stand by for details…although I’m open now to any suggestions as to format, method or subject matter.

WELCOME TO THE 2012 SILVER INKWELL AWARDS
Recognizing excellence in business communication, IABC/DC Metro’s annual Silver Inkwell Awards program is the profession’s premier awards program in metropolitan Washington and Baltimore.. Whether you’re an internal or external communicator, agency, corporate, or government practitioner, winning a Silver Inkwell is an acknowledgement of your mastery of the principles and practice of business communication.
Aligned with communication best practices as defined by IABC International’s Gold Quill Awards, the Silver Inkwell Awards program offers an opportunity to shine among – and be acknowledged by – your peers in the country’s largest IABC chapter. It’s an opportunity to have your work evaluated by the experts and see how it compares with the work of your peers. In short, it separates the wheat from the chaff.
IABC/DC Metro will introduce the winners of the 2012 Silver Inkwell Awards on October 30 at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, Md.
Veteran communication professional, longtime IABC/DC Metro supporter, and Job of the Week founder Ned Lundquist, ABC, will host the gala.
Our guest speaker will be John Friedman, an award-winning communications professional and author of The New PR. John will share how companies must evolve their communications strategies to meet stakeholders’ changing expectations, and refine how we use both traditional and new media. Communication credibility requires moving from spin to transparency and action, and from issuing messages to hosting conversations. Friedman will present a message framework to accomplish this rapidly changing role.
