The Free Job of the Week Newsletter
This is JOTW newsletter number 2,066
“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”
– John A. Shedd
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.
*** A special message to my JOTW subscribers
For all you wonderful people who sent a thoughtful note to show gratitude for being a part of this network over the years, I thank you, and will respond personally. And for those who have offered to help, I also thank you for the gesture and willingness to serve.
When I announced the ceasing of publication, and offering to pass the management on to someone who was interested, I hadn’t thought the process through. To be sure, there are plenty of you who raised their hand to help. And we all thank you. Once I realized I had a number of volunteers, I also realized I had no plan to decide how to move forward with a transition. So, I will tell you that I do have several people who will lead this effort, but all who volunteered will be given a chance to help. Just be patient. In the meantime, I will keep JOTW on its weekly schedule until such time as I can confidently pass the baton.
Thank you.
Ned
*** Here are some more comments about the Job of the Week Newsletter and its impending shutdown:
*** From Paul Hart, APR:
I know you’ve had scads of best-wishes notes lately and I want to add to the pile. I’ve enjoyed JOTW over the years and it was vitally important in my career at a couple of points. Good work. I’ve been retired four years now, know you’ll enjoy it.
Merry Christmas,
Paul Hart
*** From Molly Walker:
Ned, I met you through IABC years ago. Thank you for JOTW for lo these many years! It has been such an amazing and helpful service to so many of us. It is certainly daunting to think about anyone else taking it on. Cheers to you in the years ahead!
Molly Walker xo
*** From Gwyneth Saunders:
Skipper,
Well, good for you! You know you’ll find yourself thinking you’re forgetting to do something or feeling a sudden sense of urgency believing you’ve missed a deadline!
The good thing is maybe you”ll find time to travel for fun, and wend your way south to the Hilton Head area. We have a spare room or you can plant yourself near the beach, and we can host you for a meal or drink or two or both or meet you at one of the many tasty places with scenic views.
Whatever you do, relax. I anticipate doing that once I have finalized and closed everything from my campaign.
Best wishes always,
Gwyneth
*** From Jon Spiers:
Ned, thanks so much for what you have done for so many years!
I have used this service many time in my searches and have referred dozens of others to it.
Nicely done!
Best, Jon
*** From Sarah Marston:

Best,
Sarah Marston
