*** One Paragraph Pitch:
How's this for a background with a difference: educated as an economist, I trained to be an actress but concentrated on building a career as a professional communicator once I relocated to the United States from India. Today, I am an accredited business communicator (ABC), and in my 13th year in the business. Having managed communications at the 360-level, I am a superb strategist focusing strongly on integrated, research-based, measurable communications that quantifiably support an organization's bottom line. My complete professional profile is online at www.linkedin.com/in/shonaliburke.
How did I get to this point? By working in both agency and inhouse settings with a wide range of verticals, learning about strategy development, implementation and evaluation, client relations, crisis communications, internal communications, extensive media relations, event management and marketing, and social media (of which I have rapidly become an evangelist, as many of you can attest to). My work has been recognized several times in “The Measurement Standard,” where I was named a “measurement maven” in 2006, and in “PRWeek,” where I was named one of the “Top 40 Under 40” professionals in the U.S. in 2007. I was recently nominated to IPR's Measurement Commission, and speak and present often at industry events (one being PRSA's upcoming International Conference in Detroit in October) on integrated public relations and marketing, crisis communications, and measurement.
I recently left the ASPCA, where I was Vice President, Media & Communications, and where I built up a dynamic team of 15 from scratch over two years, to focus on finding a senior-level communications position in the Washington, D.C., metro area. I am open to agency, inhouse, for- and non-profit positions; what I'm looking for is to be able to use my skills to work with issues and/or brands that positively impact the world around us, ideally at a national or international level. So if you're looking for an industry-acknowledged, outstanding, senior-level communications professional who can help take your organization from good to great, I would love to hear from you at shonali.burke@gmail.com.

Drum roll… JOTW's now on LinkedIn
Mesdames et Messieurs,
Quite a few of you have been asking for a JOTW Group presence on LinkedIn. Always mindful of the community's wishes and with Ned's approval, I went ahead with setting it up – and it's is now active (it took LinkedIn almost a month to get it going, but we're not gonna go there.)
I'm delighted to be able to let the JOTW network know that we finally have a LinkedIn Group, which many had asked for. As of Sunday morning, there are 101 members – not bad, considering it went “live” just two days ago. I hope many others will join and use this as an additional venue to connect and share ideas with each other. To join the group, just search for “JOTW” on LinkedIn, and request to sign up (this seems to be the default setting for groups, I couldn't find a way to pre-approve requests). I log into LinkedIn at least once or twice a day, and approve all requests that are logged at that time, so folks don't have to worry about sending me a separate email reminding to me approve their request.
Here are just a few ways JOTWers can spread the word to their friends and colleagues: put a message in your Facebook status update, or post a note to your Facebook friends (and if you haven't yet joined the Facebook group for JOTW, you should – there are 929 members as of Sunday morning, let's see how quickly we can cross 1,000). Put it in your LinkedIn status, or Plaxo (or any other social network you belong to). If you belong to other LinkedIn groups, post a message to the discussion boards there. Are you on Twitter? Send out a tweet about it (and I'm at www.twitter.com/shonali for anyone who wants to connect with me there).
Hmm. Does this make me a community organizer?
Happy weekend, everyone, and stay safe,
Happy linking,
Shonali

From Uma Thangaraj in Rock=hester, Minn.
Post potluck party mix
Sweet & Salty Snack Mix
4 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups Golden Grahams
1 cup pretzels
1 cup pecan halves
For the syrup:
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla
Spray a roasting pan with cooking spray. Measure cereals, pretzels and
pecan halves into roasting pan.
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and honey. Bring to a
boil over medium heat. Boil for five minutes. DO NOT STIR.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Pour the syrup over the cereal/pretzel/nut mixture and toss well to
coat.
Bake in a 250 oven for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
NOTE: Do not do as I did and bake in a 350 oven. I read the instructions
in a hurry. The house still smells like burnt sugar.

Don't you know this party is o-v-e-r.
I posted the wrap-up in yesterday's (last Tuesday) newsletter. BTW, were those your

*** This is your Job of the Week e-mail newsletter, a cooperative
service of professional communicators providing mutual support to one
another. The JOTW serves 10,155 professional communicators. Please help
contribute job opportunities so that this information can be shared with
everyone in the network. The key to successful networking is living by
the golden rule. Do something to help a fellow communicator, and some day they may be in a position to help you, or someone else like you.
How does it work? If you find out about a job opportunity in
communications, send it to me (lundquist989@cs.com), and I'll share it
with the JOTW network. It's that simple. And we share dozens of
opportunities each week. Did I mention it was free?
Your cooperation is requested. Please send job opportunities to share
with all JOTW members to lundquist989@cs.com.
Feel free to share this newsletter. Feel free to forward opportunities.
Do not copy words that I wrote and use them as your own. I throw these
words in here just to see if someone is stupid enough to copy these
words entirely from my newsletter without changing them.
If your e-mail address is changing, please delete the old one and add your
new one. Here's how:
To subscribe, or to add a new e-mail address for your subscription, send
