JOTW 09-2018
February 26, 2018
This is JOTW newsletter number 1,742
“Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”
– Booker T. Washington
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:
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.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:
Glennis Curry
Hello! If your organization or agency is seeking a skilled writer with more than a decade of experience in strategic communications, employee engagement, change management, risk and reputation management, media relations, community relations, project management, supplier diversity, and print journalism, I am your guy! My background includes various communications roles in-house for large government agencies and management consulting role inside a FORTUNE 150 company.
What others say about me:
Glennis provided exceptional leadership as a board member of the United Way Young Professional Leaders (YPL) the past 3 years. He leveraged his professional and personal networks for the benefit of YPL, helping secure media placement for YPL and guiding 3 successful branding videos this year. Glennis’ contributions continue to further the mission of United Way and touch the lives of countless families and individuals in need. – Sr. Director of Strategy, United Way of Greater Atlanta
I had the pleasure of working with Glennis during the execution of a large water system infrastructure renewal project for the City of Atlanta. During this project, Glennis acted as our POC to ensure our project message aligned with the City’s messaging. He was very proactive in every engagement, and left a positive impression on both citizens and project staff. – Sr. Account Executive, Esri
I’m located in Atlanta but seeking full-time or contract opportunities throughout the southeast US. Feel free to contact me by email at glenniscurry@gmail.com or via LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenniscurry/.
