“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.”
– Ernest Hemingway
*** Welcome to the JOTW network.
This edition of JOTW comes to you from Ibud, on the island of Bali, Indonesia. Okay, I lied. I finished the newsletter in Singapore; put the finishing touches on it in Abu Dhabi; and I’m actually back from my trip this morning, sending this from Springfield, Virginia.
*** To submit a job for sharing on JOTW, please provide the job title, organization or company, and location and send it to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com. Provide a link or contact info so people can check out your listing or follow up if interested.
JOTW is sent out on Mondays by email with a list the jobs posted in the full newsletter, which is posted online at www.nedsjotw.com. This is designed to keep the size of the emails to a more manageable length.
*** The position descriptions and or follow up information on links to the jobs can be found at www.nedsjotw.com.
*** Posting a job is free. Recruiters can submit up to three jobs for free. Each job listing may be posted once in the newsletter for free
I request that you do not send pdf files that I have to copy and reformat. I prefer you provide your very brief job description in an email rather than an enclosure. Please limit the size of your position descriptions (generally to 500 words or less). “Can’t Wait” blast email priority listings are $300, and “Top Job” placement is $100. Just send to me at lundquist989@cs.com.
