JOTW 31-2024

August 5, 2024

The Free Job of the Week Newsletter

www.nedsjotw.com

This is JOTW newsletter number 2,050

 

“You must remember never cease to act because you fear you may fail. The way to lose any earthly kingdom is to be inflexible, intolerant, and prejudicial. Another way is to be too flexible, tolerant of too many wrongs and without judgment at all. It is a razor’s edge. It is the width of a blade of pili grass. To gain the kingdom of heaven is TO HEAR WHAT IS NOT SAID, TO SEE WHAT CANNOT BE SEEN, AND TO KNOW THE UNKNOWABLE- that is ALOHA. All things in this world are two; in heaven there is but One.”

– Queen Liliʻuokalani

 

This edition of JOTW comes to you from Springfield, Virginia.

 

***  Welcome to the JOTW network!

 

You are one of more than 5,700+ members in the JOTW subscriber 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 JOTW listserv.  If you received 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.

Hi, Ned,

 

Here’s an FBI vacancy for the next edition of JOTW. The job posting expires on Aug. 16. Thanks for sharing.

 

Questions? Contact Lee Bockhorn at lfbockhorn@fbi.gov.

 

Lee Bockhorn

Unit Chief, Executive Writing & Organizational Communications Unit

FBI Office of Public Affairs

 

6.)  Writer-Editor (GS-14), FBI Office of Public Affairs, Washington, DC

 

The FBI’s Office of Public Affairs seeks an experienced writer-editor to serve as chief editor and team lead over a small team that tells the FBI’s story to our workforce through our internal news publications — “BuNews” (short news and feature articles, videos, and podcasts published on our employee intranet 2-3 times per week) and “The Investigator” (the FBI’s quarterly magazine for employees, now in its 92nd year).

 

This is a “player-coach” role where you will both report and write your own stories and edit and direct the work of others. You’ll be responsible for producing engaging news and feature articles and multimedia products (e.g., podcasts, photo essays, and videos) that highlight the FBI’s people, mission, and successes for our workforce. We’re looking for someone with a passion for storytelling, superior writing and editing skills, good news judgment, and the ability to organize and lead a team. Experience in a deadline journalism environment is a plus, as is experience working with graphic designers, photographers/videographers/podcast producers, and web designers.
