*** Weekly Piracy Report
*** One Paragraph Pitch:
Good tidings JOTWers! Like many/most/all of you who have posted a famous OPP, I am currently looking for opportunities to “bring my talents” to a new organization. However, this time around, I’m taking a slightly different approach. I’ve decided to strike out on my own and offer my services as an independent contractor. After 10 years of working as a strategic communications consultant and public affairs representative for non-profits and defense contractors, I decided to cut out the middleman and offer cost-conscious creative services direct to the customer. Let’s be honest – when you hire a big consulting firm they are just charging you double for our (we communications professionals) talents. I write this not only as a pitch to earn business, but as a call to action to any other JOTWers out there who wish to strike out on their own. Let’s combine forces, network and win some business! Looks like I’m out of space for a one-paragraph pitch, so please check out www.333communications.com for my history and services offered.
Very Respectfully,
Tom McFadden

I should elaborate and let you know how much I look forward to reading JOTW every Monday.

I have no doubt what you’re doing is a labor of love…and it is truly appreciated. It’s especially gratifying to be able to now post job openings, as well. Thanks again and enjoy the holiday weekend!
