This is JOTW newsletter number 1,741
“There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.”
– Jane Austen
This edition of JOTW comes to you from Springfield, Virginia.
*** Welcome to the JOTW network.
This is the award-winning free Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for professional communicators, dedicated to the positive unanticipated consequences of networking, or as we call it, “nedworking.” JOTW is a cooperative service. That means JOTW relies on the contributions of its members, like you. We share job opportunities, news and information about the job market, as well as swapping stories about life’s peculiarities. We connect you with others who are like you, and together we help each other. What a concept. Did I mention it’s free?
*** 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.
*** 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.
*** This is a cooperative service. It relies on your participation and contribution. As you receive the benefit of this free newsletter, you should also send in jobs you learn about. This is especially the case when there are job listings in the companies that you work for.
*** To sign up for JOTW’s new Google Groups list, send an email to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com and request to join the new listerv. If you receive this as an email from neds-job-of-the-week@googlegroups.com, then you are on this list.
*** This week’s Can’t Wait postings:
Can’t Wait jobs: These jobs are forwarded to the entire list as soon as they are received, and do not wait for the Monday newsletter, and are posted prominently on the JOTW website. Then they are posted first in the weekly JOTW newsletter. Can’t Wait postings cost $300. Contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.
*** This week’s Top Job:
None this week.
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.
*** If you find out about a job opportunity in communications, send it to me (lundquist989@cs.com), and I’ll share it with the JOTW network.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:
Seasoned Communications Pro Looking for a New Opportunity in the Southeast
You: A business leader looking to strengthen your corporate communications functions–internal or external.
Me: A former U.S. Navy journalist with more than 25 years of experience in executive communications, employee communications and engagement, change management communications, public relations, advocacy communications and journalism looking for a senior-level position in Atlanta or Jacksonville, Fla.
What Others Are Saying:
I worked closely with Kevin when he was vice president, Communications for the Public Affairs Group/Working Mother Media’s Diversity Best Practices. In his capacity as the executive in charge of major publications and media relations, he ably assisted my company in formulating and refining our article submissions for a number of corporate diversity publications. I found him to be professional, personable and completely willing to take all the necessary steps to build solid relationships with his clients that yield exceptional results. Phillip Berry, Chief Human Resources Officer, The Clinton Foundation
Kevin is a talented and creative writer and editor. He is a strategic thinker and is able to quickly grasp the complexities of almost any topic. He is a true leader and a pleasure to work with.
– Pat Wheeler, Interim Chair, Dept. of Strategic Communications (retired), Morgan State University
Kevin and I first began working together in the mid-1990s. He has written several scripts for my firm, Indigo Communications, Inc. working with clients and projects such as the National Society of Black Engineers’ Golden Torch Awards and the Black Leadership Council. Since then, he has continued to develop into an outstanding writer, editor and communications strategist. I strongly endorse Kevin for any opportunity that would take advantage of his talent as a wordsmith and message builder.
-Shellee Haynesworth, Multimedia Executive, Indigo Creative Works
