The Free Job of the Week Newsletter
www.nedsjotw.com
This is JOTW newsletter number 1,779
“You can’t teach a crab to walk straight.”
– Aristophanes
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.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:
After nearly six years with IHS Markit, a business information provider, my position as executive director of global public relations has been moved to the company’s new HQ in London. The UK? No way! I’m staying stateside and moving on. This former news reporter looks to contribute my 25-plus years of marketing, PR and social media experience to an organization that values teamwork and understands the importance of integrated, strategic communications in driving measurable results. I’ve split my career between agencies including Fleishman-Hillard and companies such as Sprint and Qualcomm. I am seeking a full-time or contract public relations role that’s based in Colorado; I’m willing to travel for short-term assignments and/or work remotely. Dan

*** Enormously grateful:
Ned
I retired more than 6 months ago. I’m finally letting go and unsubscribing to JOTW. Before I do, I want to thank you. In my 35 year career, even tho I only switched jobs a couple of times I read JOTW regularly. Seeing jobs like mine around the world made me feel part of something bigger; I liked seeing how job descriptions changed — and didn’t change— over the decades.
And it was always fun!
I’m enormously grateful to you and for your JOTW.
Best of luck.

*** From Adam Sidel:
51.) Project Manager .:. Live Events Production (on-site .:. Dec. – March), Brainstorm Creative Resources, Washington, DC
A well-established advocacy and lobbying organization with a focus on international affairs is looking to engage a highly organized Project Manager at the coordinator-level. We’re seeking an individual who brings experience in creative or media project management AND/OR live event production, for a four-month-long assignment that will be focused on managing program elements for the organization’s annual conference. We are hoping to on-board for the position in early to mid-December, and definitely no later than January 2, 2019. We expect the engagement will come to a close during the first week of April.
This organization’s annual conference, which will be held in Washington, DC in late March, will welcome more than 15,000 participants, from all 50 states and all over the world. Guests and speakers at the conference have historically included world leaders, among them heads of state.
We are excited to meet over-achieving, early to mid-career events and production professionals who are organized and detail-oriented. We do not expect to see PMP-level accreditation for this role. We do expect that you will be able to fluidly discuss your highly relevant qualifications and demonstrate your top-notch people skills through references and in-person interviews.
While this position is currently defined as “temporary,” and we are not actively offering it as a “temporary-to-permanent” transition opportunity, we can share that our client his hired temporary Brainstorm Creative Resources employees into full-time positions in years past.
Brainstorm Creative Resources is recruiting for this position at the request of the hiring organization — a group we have supported on an annual basis, on a wide variety of hiring efforts for more than ten years. We typically post salary and rate ranges in public-facing job descriptions (see below), but we do not typically include employer names. We can provide plenty of additional details regarding the employer, to the most well qualified applicants. If you are interested in applying for this position, we hope you will allow us to represent you, rather than working independently to identify the employer so that you can inquire with them directly.
RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
*Project manage multiple live event stage elements — each with varying requirements and approval processes.
*Coordinate communication between content producers, video editors and production partners.
* Ensure the proper assembly of component script, video and graphics for each show element.
* Assist with script edits and coordinate/manage visual asset research and delivery.
* Coordinate with content producers for delivery of assets prior to weekly rehearsals. This includes delivering video assets to vendors and delivering scripts for program element.
*Participate in multiple rehearsals each week — ensuring that action items are captured and necessary follow up is completed.
* Coordinate communication with speakers during the lead up to the conference, including: gathering multimedia assets, coordinating rehearsal needs, etc.
* Create and maintain event documentation.
* During the conference, on-site responsibilities include assisting the talent rehearsal, scripting and/or backstage teams.
HOURS / LOCATION:
We are ideally looking for someone to start working early- to mid-December — and no later than January 2, 2019. We are only interested in receiving applications and inquiries from individuals who can work:
(1) in a full-time, temporary capacity;
(2) a regular M-F, 9am-6pm schedule;
(3) with some availability for overtime/weekend hours;
(4) on-site at our client’s workplace near Union Station in NW, DC;
(5) continuing through the first week of April 2019.
Individuals who can only work part-time or who are interested in working from home should not apply. There will be a requirement to work some Saturdays during January, February and March. Our client’s workplace is easily accessible via car, Metrorail and Metrobus. We will provide details regarding parking options to individuals whom we schedule for interviews with the employer.
RATE:
We are suggesting a weekly pay rate range of between $760 and $920. These weekly rates, when annualized, are the basis for salaries ranging from $38K to $46K. Alternatively, when considered on an hourly basis, the weekly rates are equivalent to $19/hour to $23/hour. The actual weekly rate offered will be commensurate with your experience and will largely be based on the following factors: credentials as detailed in your resume, your interview experiences with Brainstorm Creative Resources and/or our client, and quality of reference providers and references provided.
TERMS:
The payment terms for this engagement are structured differently than most temporary assignments. Instead of being paid only for the hours you work (which is the staffing industry norm), you will paid a weekly rate that will not differ from week to week. The rate will be based on the assumption that you are working 40 hours each week, but it will not be reduced if the employer’s office is closed or if you take scheduled and approved time off. This policy extends to all individuals we engage to work for this particular client. The engagement also offers a limited overtime differential. Overtime will be calculated under a federally mandated formula that indicates different rates each week, depending on how many hours were worked during that week.
