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:

Hi Ned,

Best,

Sarah Marston

The Free Job of the Week Newsletter

http://www.nedsjotw.com/2024/12/16/jotw-50-2024/

This is JOTW newsletter number 2,065

“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.”

– Francis of Assisi

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.

*** 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

*** A special message to my JOTW subscribers

Thank you.

Ned

*** Here are some more comments about the Job of the Week Newsletter and its impending shutdown:

*** From Jeff Opperman:

Hi Ned:

I read your recent note about stepping back from JOTW with both gratitude and sadness.

Gratitude to you for publishing JOTW every week for the past 20 plus years and helping communicators like me find the next role. I’m not sure when I signed up under your old Topica service, but it was very early on. I may have been in your first batch of subscribers. In any event, thank you so much. In the humiliating and depressing world of the job search, your weekly note and the cooperative nature of JOTW was always a bright spot.

As far as the sadness, the thought of not seeing a JOTW email every week is just another reminder the passage of time. I actually retired about 7 months ago, but I was so used to receiving your email and scanning through the jobs that I couldn’t bring myself to unsubscribe. I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels this way.

Enjoy the next stage of your life and never forget how many people you’ve helped through JOTW. We are all grateful.

Best,

jeff opperman

*** From David A. Fechtor:

David A. Fechtor

I have no desire to fill your shoes, but I would like to thank you for the incredible amounts of time and work that you put into making JOTW such a valuable job-hunting resource over the years. While I never found a job for myself through JOTW, I often forwarded JOTW job leads to friends and former colleagues, and they found the info—which was actually from you, indirectly— to be extraordinarily valuable.

Here’s hoping that you enjoy every second of the additional time you’ll have at your disposal starting in 2025. You deserve that, and more.

Best wishes for a joyous holiday season and many Happy New Years to come.

-David

David A. Fechtor

*** From Stefanie Pidgeon:

Ned,

I have followed the JOTW for almost 20 years. I have really enjoyed reading the various job postings and always loved the humor. I have recommended it to many communications professionals over the years and passed along to students looking for their first job. It’s always been my go-to job board.

I just want to say Thank You for all you have done for our profession. The networking you’ve provided through this newsletter has been invaluable.

All the best,

Stefanie Pidgeon

*** From Geri Rosman:

Good morning, Ned. Thank you for the many years you have devoted to helping so many people in the communications and public relations industries. I have been a devoted reader since almost the beginning. Thanks again so very much. I look forward to hearing from you. Best/GeriR

Geri Rosman

*** From Ray Atkinson, ABC:

Ned, thank you for devoting so much of your time and resources to JOTW. This feels like the end of an era.

I’m sure I got at least one job as a result, and it always gave me hope to see the listings every Monday when I was between gigs. I don’t know how you did it every week with your insane travel schedule, but AI’s got nothing on you.

I don’t remember if I met you first or saw the list, but I do have a vivid memory of you “pinning” me with my ABC on my birthday in 2009 in DC. It’s an honor to know you.

Ray

The Free Job of the Week Newsletter

http://www.nedsjotw.com/2024/12/09/jotw-49-2024/

This is JOTW newsletter number 2,064

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

– Dale Carnegie

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

*** Welcome to the JOTW network!

You are one of more than 5,700+ members in the JOTW subscriber network.

*** 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

*** A special message to my JOTW subscribers

Thank you for the many notes you have sent me about JOTW coming to an end. And additional thanks to those who have volunteered to keep it going. I’ll post some of the comments in this and upcoming issues of JOTW. As for determining who to pass it along to, I hadn’t given it much thought, and I don’t have a mechanism to determine the most-worthy successor. I’m working on that now.

*** Here are some comments about the Job of the Week Newsletter and its impending shutdown:

*** From LB:

Hi Ned,

I’m mainly a digital comms and event person but I’ve found (and posted) a few jobs via your newsletter over the years.

That said, I would also like to thank you for your work and service to job-seekers and job posters over the years.

Best wishes,

*** From James J. Henderson III:

Even though I’ve never been hired as a result of any of your postings, the newsletter is a genuine pleasure to read. I’ve been a subscriber for at least 15 years. I especially enjoy your April fools edition.

I hope that you enjoy your time. Thank you for your service.

James J. Henderson III

The Free Job of the Week Newsletter

http://www.nedsjotw.com/2024/12/02/jotw-48-2024/

This is JOTW newsletter number 2,063

“The end of a melody is not its goal: but nonetheless, had the melody not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A parable.”

– Friedrich Nietzsche

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.

*** 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

*** A special message to my JOTW subscribers

*** Here are some comments about the Job of the Week Newsletter and its impending shutdown:

*** From Allison Jackson:

Hi Ned,

I can’t believe that you’ve been putting out this newsletter since 2001!!! I’ve been a subscriber for probably a good 15+ years. Kudos to you for what you’ve created.

I’d hate to see the newsletter go. I know many colleagues who also rely on it for job opps (especially in this current job market).

You’ve really done an incredible job with JOTW and I thank you for it — as well as your service to our country.

Best,

Allison

*** From Karen Swim, APR:

Hi Ned,

We don’t talk nearly enough but I so appreciate all that you have done over the years for the profession. I just wanted to personally thank you. I have shared your newsletter with so many looking for jobs as a trusted resource. This is the end of an era but I commend you reclaiming your time. I think this is a theme for so many as we reassess and reallocate how we are spending our time. Life requires so much these days we have to self-preserve.

I hope someone takes up the mantel.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Karen

*** From Derin Denham:

Dear Ned,

Thank you for your dedication and commitment to this group and for publishing the newsletter. I have often shared opportunities with my professional network – and it has also been a source of motivation for students and aspiring communicators.

Wishing you the very best,

Derin

*** From Geri Rosman:

Hi Ned. I just read the news. Your email has been eagerly awaited and much appreciated over all these years. I’m not sure I’ve been a subscriber since the very beginning but I think certainly from fairly early on. Wishing you great fulfillment and enjoyment in your recaptured time. Lord knows your JOTW effort all these years, asking for nothing in return, has been above and beyond just an email in our inboxes. Wishing you many years of health and happiness ahead. Thanks so much for all you’ve done for so many of us over the years. Best/GeriRosman

Geri Rosman

*** From Anne Bentley:

Ned,

I’m sure you’ll hear from many of your followers about this transition. First, thank you for devoting so much time and energy to your fellow comms comrades. I’ve been a reader since the start. I can’t thank you enough for both the forum to share our open positions and the opportunity to see what jobs are open. It has been a true service. 23 years is a long time to devote to any endeavor. Kudos.

I would happily step forward to see everything you’ve created continue into the future.

Thank you for everything, and be in touch if you’d like to connect about going forward.

Anne Bentley

*** From Kat Snodgrass:

Thank you, Ned, for all you do and all you have done. I can’t recall how long I’ve been a member but easily 15+ years and I’ve shared postings widely in that time. Like any employees I work with, I hate to see them move on but excited by their future prospects. I wish the same for you.

Best wishes for you and your new endeavors!

Kat

*** From LB:

Hi Ned,

I’m mainly a digital comms and event person but I’ve found (and posted) a few jobs via your newsletter over the years.

That said, I would also like to thank you for your work and service to job-seekers and job posters over the years.

Best wishes,

*** From James J. Henderson III:

I hope that you enjoy your time. Thank you for your service.

A special message to my DEFCON 1 subscribers

I have been faithfully publishing this newsletter for two decades. I think there was a time where I thought I could grow the number of job listings and the subscribers in the network to a point where I could attract sponsors or paid listings. With effort, I’m sure that I could have monetized this newsletter, but I never spent the time or resources to grow it as a business.

My plan is to cease publishing the newsletter at the end of 2024. If anyone would like to assume the list of subscribers and the website so you can continue to send out the newsletter yourself and post it online as you see fit, please contact me at lundquist989@cs.com and we can work out the details.

November 25 2024

The Free Job of the Week Newsletter

http://www.nedsjotw.com/2024/11/25/jotw-47-2024/

This is JOTW newsletter number 2,062

“It isn’t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.”

– Frank Zappa

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.

*** 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

*** A special message to my JOTW subscribers

I have been faithfully publishing this newsletter since the beginning of 2001. I started the network to connect people, including myself. It helped me find employment when I was looking for work–TWICE, and it has helped many of you find jobs. In fact, while I do get some feedback, I am aware of cases of subscribers who made a successful connection that led to a real job as a result of JOTW, even if the individuals involved never told me afterwards. Hey, it happens.

JOTW has always been an avocation for me. There was a time when I had some paid sponsors, and I admit the money was welcomed, but I never looked at this is as my job. At one point I had more than 11,000 subscribers. But there was a problem with the Topica service I was using. It stopped functioning properly and even as I continued to post the newsletter, I couldn’t tell if all of my subscribers were receiving it. Ultimately, I was able to rebuild the subscriber base using Google Groups, which has worked well for me, but I have never topped 6,000 readers in the post-Topica era. If I worked hard at outreach, I could grow awareness and increase both subscribers and job listings…and sponsors. It’s a function of time, mostly, and I don’t really want to make a new investment of time.

I have been extremely faithful in posting JOTW every Monday. The latest issue represents JOTW newsletter number 2,061. I took a few weeks off for a vacation once or twice, but most of the time, even when I was on travel, I got the newsletter out–whether it had 30 job opportunities or 130, from wherever I was in the world.

In order to give myself the luxury of that time I spend each week working on JOTW, I plan to cease publishing the newsletter at the end of 2024.

If anyone would like to assume the list of subscribers and the website so you can continue to send out the newsletter yourself and post it online as you see fit, please contact me at lundquist989@cs.com and we can work out the details.

Thank you for being a part of this network.
