– Nicolaus Copernicus

Welcome to the latest edition of the number one Defense Career Opportunities Newsletter, “DEFCON-1,” a networking newsletter featuring job opportunities and career advice for those who are part of the global defense, aerospace, maritime, marine technology and security industry. DEFCON 1 brings you job opportunities every week, and counts on members like you to submit job listings to share and post in this newsletter.

Help the network grow. Sign up a friend. They can join for free simply by sending a blank email to DCO-subscribe@topica.com.

When you learn about a job opportunity in the defense sector, such as a position that comes open with your company, you send me the title, organization, location, and a brief description; link; or contact information, and I’ll share. This is a cooperative network. That means everyone’s participation is required to provide job opportunities to share.

Transitioning, or changing your e-mail address? Don't forget to change your DEFCON – 1 subscription. To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail from the old account to DCO-unsubscribe@topica.com. Then a blank e-mail from your new account to DCO-subscribe@topica.com. I cannot do this for you.

I never give out, rent, or sell my list, and neither does Topica.

*** Kommunicators in Search of Someone Special (KISSS):

Professional communicator seeks adventurous man who wants to share his intellect, talents and future experiences with a dynamic, funny, interesting career woman. Life has blessed me with varied life experiences in many locales. I’ve enjoyed the east and west coasts and a few places in between. The Phoenix metro area has been my adopted home since 1996. Several things light my fire – travel, photography, cars, conversation, movies and unique experiences. Not necessarily in that order! I’m a stable person with a good life and two great rescued dogs who is in search of someone who would delight in surprising me…and someone who enjoys surprises. *** Ned’s rules say I must indicate the celebrity I most resemble. As a left-handed red head, I'm all original! I’ve been told I have Sarah, Duchess of York’s hair and Jodie Foster’s eyes…if only Jodie’s eyes were green. So, there you have it – left-handed, green-eyed, red-headed Kommunicator in Search of a Special Someone. Replies to hfmphotographer (at) gmail.com.

Hello all, I hope this email finds you well. It's finally that time… and I'm a few months away from graduation.

Currently, I’m conducting research around the existing and planned marketing practices of small businesses as part of my Applied Research Project (Master’s Thesis), the last step towards completion of my Master's of Science in Marketing degree from Johns Hopkins University.

I know that many of you are not small business owners (but some of you are!) and may not work for small businesses. But–I'm counting on the fact that many of you probably know one or more small business owners, or actually work for a small business and have insight into their marketing practices. (The Small Business Administration defines a small business as an “independent business having fewer than 500 employees”) I need several hundred responses, can you please take or forward this 5 minute survey?

Click here to begin: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XG2WZMW

Please be assured that survey input is anonymous and will be reported upon in the aggregate (in other words, lumped together and reported upon as part of a group).

And please let me know if you have any questions or comments relative to this survey and my project.

39.) Senior Associate, Sage Communications Partners, Philadelphia, PA

Sage Communications Partners seeks to hire a senior associate. Soon. A

senior associate is a pretty mundane title for an awesome job. Trust us,

being our SA (that sounds better, doesnt it?) not only puts your brain

to serious use every day, and not only boosts the number of important

people whose cell numbers you have, it gives you the chance to do some

worldly good.

At Sage, we mostly help foundations and non-profits say the things they

want to say. We work with them to develop better strategies for

communicating what they do; we write and edit reports they issue; we

train their staffs to deal with social media and whats left of

traditional media. We polish their web sites and advocate for their

issues. Sometimes, we help corporations do all those things, too, if

they want to increase attention about an issue or a cause they support.

Heres an example: We were hired by the City of Philadelphia to launch

its new campaign to make the city greener and more energy efficient.

Heres another: We worked with a great philanthropist to launch and now

run an online campaign that gives voters a place to scream about the

outdated gun laws in Pennsylvania. We tend to share views with the

organizations we have as clients.

– 3 to 5 years experience in the communications field.

have fun.)

Salary is flexible since we plan to offer a compensation that fits the

best candidates experience.

WARNING FROM THE FEDERAL RESERVE: Given the unpredictability of the

economy and the nature of agency business, no jobs today are 100% solid.

JOTW 2010 Survey

JOTW survey

To take the survey visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6F87FD3.

Welcome to the 2010 edition of the JOTW Survey for communication professionals. I appreciate your spirited participation!

First, I want to thank Mike Klein wherever he is, for helping me put the survey together, and analyzing the results. I couldn’t do it without him. Okay, maybe I could, but I would probably wiff it badly.

I want to thank my friends who donated some really cool prizes to help encourage you to take a few minutes and take the survey. You can see the list of prizes below, and the nice people who donated them. After the survey officially closes, we’ll select names at random (using one of those random selection thingies) and those winners will be permitted to select the prize of their choice. The first of the names selected gets first choice of the prizes.

One of my objectives with the survey is to provide some data about who reads JOTW so that I can use that information to attract sponsors. In the past I have resisted the temptation to charge for subscriptions, even though the site is designed for that, and 30 percent of the people who have taken the last two surveys said they would pay $50 or more for the privilege of getting the newsletter every week. I was a J-schooler, but even I can do some math to tell me that if 30 percent of 11,000 people paid me $50 each year, I could stay home in the morning. Most of you don’t begrudge me in making a couple of coins every now and then, and the survey results will help me. Someday, when I retire from a real job, I’ll get a little more serious about hustling to make a living from JOTW, but for now I am doing this out of a sense of selfish altruism.

There is a place to put comments. I read these. Some of them I will share with the readership. The negative comments motivate me to make JOTW better. The positive comments sustain me and keep me going. I need both.

To take the survey visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6F87FD3.

Here are the prizes (more detail about each prize can be found at http://www.nedsjotw.com/blog/_archives/2009/12/21/4409611.html.

1.) A limited edition feature-length documentary from Virginia A. Williams

2.) One month of counseling of heath and wellness counseling Jodi Krizer Graber

3.) One year IABC membership

4.) One free registration for the IABC March web seminar with Steve Crescenzo

5.) Limited-edition live CD from Greg Marsh

6.) Original Scottish Country dance in honor of this prizewinner from Ellen Ternes

7.) 6 free 2010 jewel case desk calendars from zodiac printing

8.) Free registration and display table at South Jersey or Philadelphia eWomenNetwork event from Marilyn Kleinberg

9.) Taylor Technologies Spa/Pool Water Test Kit from Pat Taylor

10.) One hour of business coaching with Coach Vickie Bevenour

11.) Complimentary Webinar Registrations from Dave Van de Walle at Area 224

12.) Don’t Talk to the Media 29-Day Media Training Program from Gerard Braud

13.) Gregg Feistman’s new novel, The War Merchants

14.) Free registration to an upcoming Communitelligence webinar from John Gerstner:

*** JOTW Teammate Launches CommScrum: Full Contact Internal Communications

I’m pleased to announce that a key member of the JOTW team, Mike Klein, my Belgium-based Research Guru, has joined up with three of Europe’s top internal communication pros to launch a new online publishing effort called CommScrum-Full Contact Internal Communication.

Mike and his fellow CommScrummers (Dan Gray, Kevin Keohane, and Lindsay Uittenbogaard) want to offer something a bit more hard-hitting than what’s been offered by the mainstream comms press, and the current edition, “GameChange: Will ‘Employee Communication’ Stomp ‘Internal Communication’ “hits its subject right between the eyes.

CommScrum can be found at http://CommScrum.wordpress.com, and the CommScrummers are aiming to get at least two full posts out per month.

Commscrum is one of a number of projects that Mike is involved with, at the moment, along with supporting me on the JOTW Survey. He’s got a new site up at Mike Klein—The Intersection (http://intersectionblog.wordpress.com), with links to some interesting articles he’s been writing about employee engagement. He's also currently on the look out for new projects, partners and positions, and is working on a new project that JOTW will be co-sponsoring soon. Stay tuned!

*** JOTW Teammate Launches CommScrum: Full Contact Internal Communications

I’m pleased to announce that a key member of the JOTW team, Mike Klein, my Belgium-based Research Guru, has joined up with three of Europe’s top internal communication pros to launch a new online publishing effort called CommScrum-Full Contact Internal Communication.

Mike and his fellow CommScrummers (Dan Gray, Kevin Keohane, and Lindsay Uittenbogaard) want to offer something a bit more hard-hitting than what’s been offered by the mainstream comms press, and the current edition, “GameChange: Will ‘Employee Communication’ Stomp ‘Internal Communication’ “hits its subject right between the eyes.

CommScrum can be found at http://CommScrum.wordpress.com, and the CommScrummers are aiming to get at least two full posts out per month.

Commscrum is one of a number of projects that Mike is involved with, at the moment, along with supporting me on the JOTW Survey. He’s got a new site up at Mike Klein—The Intersection (http://intersectionblog.wordpress.com), with links to some interesting articles he’s been writing about employee engagement. He's also currently on the look out for new projects, partners and positions, and is working on a new project that JOTW will be co-sponsoring soon. Stay tuned!
