The Free Job of the Week Newsletter
This is JOTW newsletter number 1,796
“If we don’t succeed we run the risk of failure.”
-Dan Quayle
This edition of JOTW comes to you from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
*** 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. But I am not naieve. I know most of you just suck all these jobs in and never take a minute or two to send any to me to share with the rest of the network.
*** 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. Don’t make me figure it all out myself.
*** Posting a job is free. Recruiters can submit up to three jobs for free, but you guys owe me.
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.
*** 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:
None this week.
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.

14.) VICE PRESIDENT OF COMMUNICATIONS, THE INTERNET OF THINGS ASSOCIATION, Seattle
TITA seeks experienced, self-aware, in-tune Vice President of Communications who gets how things work and can explain it to others—and to us, because we’re not exactly sure ourselves. We thought “the internet of things” was just a cute little throwaway phrase used by people who didn’t get how the Internet worked, and then we realized that the “internet of things” was actually a real thing. So we created this trade group to make money off of it, but now we need someone who can actually explain it so that we know what we’re talking about. If this makes sense to you, send us your resume—by email, fax, mail or however you’d like. We’re eager to hear from you, one way or another.
