*** One Paragraph Pitch:

I have a strong background in promotional marketing and copy editing. I

worked for three years as a Program Manager at Summit Marketing where I

maintained several e-Stores. Prior to Summit Marketing, I interned for USPS

as a Copy Editor for a daily publication sent to all Postal employees.

After moving to San Diego last Fall, I have found it difficult to find

full-time employment. I have been temping consistently for a variety of

companies. For example, I worked at Jack in the Box in Print Production

where I was responsible for ordering and designing signage for all

restaurant locations. Currently, I am temping for Booz Allen Hamilton as a

Learning and Development Facilitator. I schedule multiple classes on a

daily basis for which all Booz Allen associates participate.

I am seeking a career in marketing, but open to other opportunities in the

San Diego area. I adapt easily to work environments and learn quickly. I'm

eager to find a company in which I can learn and grow.

*** Sign up for some cool offers

Shonali Burke turned me on to Groupon, and I heard about it on the Area 224 site. I had to check it out. Each day Groupon tells you about something cool to do, see, buy, or eat at an unbeatable price, in your area…provided that the minimum number of people sign up. For example, if a Groupon offer let’s you buy $35 worth of coffee for $15, you only get that offer if the minimum number of people set by the company making that offer actually sign up for it. That way the company knows it will have a certain amount of business in order to extend the offer. They get customers. You save money.

Sign up to receive daily Groupon offers in your area.

If you sign up, Ned gets $10 to buy stuff with at Groupon, and you don’t have to buy a thing.

*** The JOTW 2009 Holiday Blessing

I have traditionally asked my friend, shipmate, and best man Pat Tracy to offer a blessing each year. I did so again in 2009, but this time invited any and all of you to participate and contribute. The blessings were shared with the network and posted on my website at http://www.nedsjotw.com/blog/%20CommunicationJobs/_archives/2009/12/23/4410613.html.

There was quite a response, and those contributions sparked more feedback, posted here:

*** From Jen Rodriguez:

May God continue to shine upon you this glorious season as we enter into the New Year, trust, believe and receive all that He has for you. Knowing that the best always comes from Him. j=

*** From Kathy Westra:

Blessings to you, Ned, for keeping JOTW vigorous and timely and useful to all of us.

To all, I offer a blessing for the winter season and the year's turning. It is not my own, but the first verse and chorus of a song sung and recorded by poet, singer, and woodcarver Gordon Bok of Camden, Maine. :

Hearth and fire be ours tonight,

And all the dark outside.

Fair the night, and kind on you

Wherever you may bide.

And I'd be the sun upon your head,

The wind about your face,

My love upon the path you tread,

And on all your wanderings, peace.

Happiest of new years to you.

Kathy Westra, Silver Spring, MD

*** From Ed Fulginiti:

Blessings to you too, Ed, and know your efforts here are a constant joy!

Ed Fulginiti

*** From Jacqueline Todd, APR:

Ned-

Thanks for sharing the holiday blessings. I enjoyed reading them and found the diversity of thought very interesting. I especially enjoyed reading Pat Tracy's blessing, which really brought it home for me.

Best wishes to you and the entire JOTW family for a happy holiday and a prosperous 2010!

Thanks for all that you do,

Jacqueline Todd, APR

*** From Don Scott:

Ned:

I embraced the many holiday wishes and expressions of thanks posted by JOTW members. Admittedly, I was taken aback by the very last “blessing” from your friend and best man, Pat Tracy, who chose to use this stage for his Republican propaganda. It's both disappointing and irritating to end the year with that. Apparently Pat was under the impression that this was a Fox-owned medium with a like-minded audience.

Happy holidays to JOTW, its friends and its captain.

Don Scott

*** From Carl Dombek:

Wonderful, Ned. As a Christian myself, I found Pat's blessing particularly

inspiring.

Carl

*** From Tom Carney:

Ned:

Nicely done. I particularly liked:

“Pray often. Let others pray. Their way.”

Wendy Schneider-Levinson”

I felt a bit of “heaviness” rather than joy, so I reached back 50

years to my dance band days and offer what we said then which was

'have a cool Yule and a frantic first.'

best wishes to all

*** From Susan Burnell, APR:

Thank you and bless you, Ned. (Wonderful that so many participated, Pat's

blessing is still the best.)

With wishes for abundant cheer at Christmas and throughout the year ahead,

Susan

(Susan sent me a picture of her amaryllis. See it at http://www.nedsjotw.com/blog/_archives/2009/12/26/4412846.html.)

*** From Marion Dreyfus:

I am not a Christian, but feel the holiday spirit infusing this time, even in an economic catastrophe now afield. Not to pass the buck, but joyous love and camaraderie, a good solid job and enough income to relax with, health and safety [from our apparently proliferative anti-loving, tormenting enemies], to all.

NYC fan of Ned and JOTW. Bless you guys.

*** From Laurie Mitchell, CPC:

Ned,

Merry Christmas to you and your family, and a special thanks for doing this extra edition which brought me to tears. You continually pay it forward for many generations.

L

May you continue to go from strength to strength, success to success in 2010.

Wishing everyone a new year of full employment and collegiality.

Laurie Mitchell, CPC

*** From Amy Halm:

PAT TRACY ROCKS!!!

Merry Christmas, Ned, and God bless you for what you do!!

Amy

*** From Christy Blackmon:

truly enjoyed Pat Tracy's blessing! Pat was totally on point and I hope someone paid attention! Thanks for sharing Ned! (I enjoy the other blessings as well 🙂 )

Merry Christmas to you and yours and have a blessed New Year!

Be safe, Christie

*** From Molly Walker:

Ned, you're the best. I thank my lucky stars for you. Merry

Christmas!

*** From Audrey Williams:

Ned:

I want to thank you for helping me find a new job this year. I found my current position through this network.

Thank you.

*** From Kim Perz:

it's probably too late to share with everyone,

but my wonderful father used to say “Peace be all over you.”

his variation of the Catholic blessing “Peace be with you.”

🙂

very nice blessings below ~ thank you for reminding me once again of cultural diversity in other regions of my country and the world.

thanks to the readers for sharing!

*** Is this what JOTW is all about?

I very much appreciate your efforts to cement and expand JOTW as a community beyond sharing job leads. Under your stewardship, JOTW has built morale among many down on their luck and likely created some off-line friendships as well. To me, this is what gives JOTW hope and heart.

At the same time, I feel that JOTW is not the best place for sharing exclusionary religious views or political invective. A couple of the messages you chose to include in this space, were in my opinion, inflammatory and offensive. Please re-consider this editorial decision going forward. With 10,000 readers, I don't think this is just about being careful or politically correct. Rather, I think it's about re-examining the mission of JOTW and the implications of having a “pulpit” from which you can instantly reach so many.

JOTW is your brainchild and in many wonderful ways your legacy. It would be a shame to turn it into a forum for divisiveness and commentary bordering on hate speech (the gentleman from Texas).

J

(I do not tell people what to think or what to say. But I do allow a forum

to share. Maybe I need to rethink? – Ned)

You raise an interesting question re: providing a forum for sharing. JOTW is your baby so it's a very personal decision. For what it's worth, my own approach might be to set some parameters, i. e. where are the lines that let you provide a community forum while still maintaining an environment that feels welcoming and hospitable?

I'm not sure that perfect line exists when it comes to religion and politics. JOTW already offers such rich ground in which to debate career search practices, commiserate about experiences, etc. Maybe the other topics are best left for cable programs! It was just a bit jarring to have it “infiltrate” JOTW.

*** The JOTW 2010 Survey:

The next iteration of the JOTW Survey is in the planning stages now. We have some great incentive prizes to encourage subscribers to participate. I am inviting those who want to contribute a prize or a service for the 2010 JOTW Survey to let me know before the end of 2009. When you provide an incentive prize, you will be given the name of the winner of that prize (drawn at random for the survey participants) and you will deliver the prize or service directly to that person. Do not send prizes to me here at the JOTW World Operations Center.

Send your item and description to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.

When you offer to give prize, you get a paragraph to describe the prize, and yourself if you want, so you can write it off to promotional considerations. The list of prizes will be maintained at www.nedsjotw.com, posted in JOTW and in the JOTW Monday Morning Chasers, and at the JOTW Facebook and LinkedIn group pages.

Here’s what we have so far:

*** Pat Valdata counts for something:

To Ned, who wrote: “As we complete the first decade of the 21st century, communicators have seen dramatic changes over the past few years.”

What was the first year of the decade?

2001

How many years are in a decade?

10

Therefore, what is the last year of the first decade of the 21st century?

2010

Please let’s not revisit the mistakes of Y2K when all the math challenged thought 1999 was the last year of the 20th century. In our system of arithmetic, we start counting at one, not zero. Hence: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.

And please let’s all pronounce the new year twenty-ten, not two-thousand and ten.

Pat, channeling Charles Osgood and wishing all a very happy new year!

*** One Paragraph Pitch:

Hi, Ned —

Our paths crossed years ago in the IABC-DC chapter. Some years and

several jobs later, I have become a faithful reader. I connected with

Larry Light through the announcement you ran in early May for his

resume, cover letter and interview guides. He recast my resume and

coached me through some matters as I prepare for a career transition in

very soon — the coming days.

He urged me to contact you with a one-paragraph pitch, based on the

introductory highlight of my recasted resume. Well, here goes:

Communications director-level individual, capable of creating Web site

content or editing existing content to inform and motivate

stakeholders and members with fresh and relevant content, while

simultaneously managing an organization's print and electronic

communications and performing public affairs duties. Has managed staff

and contractors, including administrative and technical individuals.

Directed web content for world's largest medical technology association;

served in numerous media relations roles for the nation's largest

association of life insurance companies. Has had direct experience as a

reporter for newspapers including The Charlotte News, The Wall Street

Journal, American Metal Market, as well as freelance reporting/editing

experience with NPR, GEICO, and University of Maryland, and

Afro-American Newspapers (Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD). Works

consistently with internal and external departments. Saved an employer

thousands of dollars by moving hard-copy newsletters to electronic

publishing. Guided association's transition to online event marketing

that raised more than $3 million in non-dues revenue during a four-year

period. Multitasks well; can work with tight deadlines, limited budgets

and consistently brings projects in on time and within budget.

*** The JOTW 2009 Holiday Blessing

I have traditionally asked my friend, shipmate, and best man Pat Tracy

to offer a blessing each year around this time. I will do so again this

year. But some of you have indicated an interest in having a wider,

more ecumenical expression of faith and thankfulness. So, I am inviting

any and all of you to send me your own JOTW holiday blessing which I

will share with the entire JOTW Network. Send your blessing to

lundquist989@cs.com by 22 December.

Note: I've already received several blessings. I'm looking forward to

your contribution.

*** The JOTW 2010 Survey:

The next iteration of the JOTW Survey is in the planning stages now.

The previous two surveys yielded very valuable information about who

belongs to the JOTW network and about our profession as business

communicators. To make the survey fun, and to encourage participation,

we have offered some really great prizes that were awarded at random to

those who completed the survey.

So, with that in mind, I am inviting those who want to contribute a

prize or a service for the 2010 JOTW Survey to let me know before the

end of 2009. When you provide an incentive prize, you will be given

the name of the winner of that prize (drawn at random for the survey

participants) and you will deliver the prize or service directly to that

person. Do not send prizes to me here at the JOTW World Operations

Center.

Send your item and description to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.

When you offer to give prize, you get a paragraph to describe the prize,

and yourself if you want, so you can write it off to promotional

considerations. The list of prizes will be maintained at

www.nedsjotw.com, posted in JOTW and in the JOTW Monday Morning Chasers,

and at the JOTW Facebook and LinkedIn group pages.

*** IABC/Washington January meeting: Looking Back, Looking Ahead

Looking Back, Looking Ahead

Jan 14, 2010 5:30-8:30 p.m.

Hamilton Crowne Plaza, Washington, DC

As we complete the first decade of the 21st century, communicators have

seen dramatic changes over the past few years.

We've just come out of a challenging year filled with uncertainty and

apprehension, the likes of which some of us have never seen before. We

saw record unemployment and a global economic meltdown that impacted our

field as much as any other. And we also saw the emergence and dominance

of social media and tools such as Facebook and Twitter that have turned

the communication profession on its head.

So what will 2010 bring? Can we expect any changes for communication

professionals in the National Capital area? What should we do to

increase business opportunities and employee morale for and in our

organizations? What are the communication trends we are likely to see in

this second decade of the new millennium? And how can we learn to

harness technology to work even better for our organizations, clients

and work?

While no one has a crystal ball, IABC/Washington is extremely pleased to

bring together some of the area's leading business communicators to

discuss these questions, as well as answer those you might have, at our

January chapter meeting.

Panelists include Shashi Bellamkonda, director of social media and

“social media swami” for Network Solutions; Torod Neptune, senior vice

president/Global Public Affairs practice leader and general manager of

Waggener Edstrom Worldwide's DC, office; John Taylor, senior manager of

public affairs at Sprint Nextel Corporation; and Paul Sherman,

co-founder and editor-in-chief of Tech Wire Publications.

Daria Steigman, former chapter president and founder of Steigman

Communications, will moderate what promises to be a lively discussion.

Bring your business cards, your questions, and yourself!

Also in 2010, we'll kick off the year with a new location and be making

our meetings increasingly mobile to serve more chapter members. So

please join us!

*** From Bonnie H. Schulte:

Good morning, Ned.

Because of a link to a letter

now certainly happier than ever

she dons new attire

working hard not to perspire

she's tickled clear down to her toes!

I'm thrilled to tell you, Ned, that I've landed at Central Pennsylvania

Youth Ballet (CPYB), Carlisle, PA, as Director of Strategic Marketing

and Communications.

In September I came upon CPYB's non-paid, social media internship JOTW

posting. As I had a goal to soak up like a sponge opportunities relating

to social media marketing, I made contact with the organization's PR

Director.

I shared that I'd recently moved to the area from out of state; had

extensive marketing experience, but was not a social media expert; and

was in a job search. I offered to come alongside CPYB on a pro bono

basis to assist in the development of a social media presence.

Suggesting this posed a win-win opportunity for both of us (CPYB

receives strategic and tactical marketing programs; I acquire knowledge

and experience), we formed a working relationship.

Six weeks later, as a result of the PR Director's anticipated departure

due to a move out of the area, the organization's CEO contacted me and

asked me to consider the opportunity of a broader role with CPYB,

Director of Strategic Marketing and Communications. Needless to say,

CPYB is an amazing organization, and I accepted! During December, I'm

experiencing the luxury of easing into my new position on a part-time

basis and will begin full-time January 4. Does it get any better!

Thanks for helping bring me to Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. I

promise not to sport a tutu anytime soon as it would not be a pretty

picture. 😉

Merry Christmas, Ned.
