Welcome to the free Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for
professional communicators, dedicated to the positive and unanticipated consequences of “nedworking,” whatever that means.
The concept really isn’t that hard. JOTW is a cooperative service that relies on the cooperation of its members to cooperate with others who also cooperate with the cooperating membership, which cooperates as a collective of cooperators. Got that? Good. Now, start cooperating.
The whole “free” thing throws people for a loop, too. It is. Free. But that doesn’t mean you just sit back and expect somebody else to put everything together every week for your benefit and you don’t have to do or contribute or share ANYTHING. Or does it.
In this FREE issue which you didn’t have to do or pay anything to get:

*** One Haiku Pitch:
(From Bob Verdun, ABC:)
Please consider me.
I am quite reliable;
And make good coffee.
(From Vanessa Lincoln:)
I’m not desperate;
Although to the untrained ear,
I might sound that way.
(From Nigel Turntable:)
Looking for a change.
Actually, I need change;
Must pay Comcast bill.
(From Milton Longfellow:)
I’m a hard worker;
And the restraining order
Expires in two weeks.
(From Bernice, back in the workforce after raising six kids):
Excellent typist;
Twenty-two words a minute;
Awaiting your call!
*** A JOTW “Can’t Wait” Opportunity From—Ooops, too late. Sorry, nevermind…
*** JOTW Rock and Roll Trivia Quiz for March 32, 2011:
Q. This seminal band crafted mystical melodies and imaginative lyrics into a series of hits, including “Have A Cigar (Which May Just Be A Cigar);” “Mother” and “Comfortably Mum.”
(Answer below)
*** Carter: I’m a better ex-president than Lincoln
Former President Jimmy Carter told reporters yesterday that he should be remembered as one of the best ex-presidents ever. “If you look at it, I did more after I left office than most presidents. I’ve accomplishment more than Abraham Lincoln did after he left office, for example,” he said.
*** Correction:
The Marketing and Communications Director for the Egg and Chicken Association of America was posted in error and has been reclassified and posted as the Director of Communications and Marketing for the American Chicken and Egg Association.
*** Deal me in!
All-day webinar from Dave Van der Walle at Area 51:
Playing Solitaire will increase your productivity by as much a 12 %. Here’s the deal. Stay sharp and focused, because down time is dead time. Keep your fingers moving, and stack those decks. I’ll teach you to truly multitask in just eight weeks. Special rate for JOTW subscribers: Just $349.50
***Can’t argue with this:
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today!
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received a $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
*** A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!
*** Let’s get to the jobs (sigh):

8.) Vice President of Public Affairs, Knitting Needles Are Not Weapons of Mass Destruction, Arlington, Va.
Across this great land, thousands of women (and roughly three men) are being turned away at airports or detained by authorities while their belongings are subjected to search and seizure. Why? Because all they want to do is bring their knitting needles on planes. Knitting provides relaxation; is calming; and is ultimately productive, providing our Nation’s children, in-laws and friends with mittens, scarves, hats and lingerie. We seek a dynamic, media savvy communicator to develop and lead a campaign to permit these brave American women (and roughly three men) to exercise their freedom in our Nation’s skies.

10.) MARCOM specialist, George Foreman® 2-in-One Airplane grill, As-Seen-On-TV, Union City, New Jersey
They hardly don’t feed you anything anymore on those planes, even on the longest cross-country flights. That’s why I’ve invented my new George Foreman® 2-in-One Airplane grill, for grilling chops, seafood, steaks, ribs, and of course those all-American favorites burgers and dogs. Start your grill when your “wheels up” and by the time they come through with the drink cart everybody will want to know what that great smell is. George loves it. As does George. Now be careful about those shiska-bob skewer dealies because they can make the TSA folks a little uncooperative, but as long as you keep your lighter fluid in a small 3 oz. bottle or smaller, you’ll be cookin’! And make sure you get a George Foreman® 2-inOne Airplane grill apron with my picture on it, by George!
As the worldwide leaders in the contact grilling market with over 100 million grills sold worldwide, George Foreman® takes pride in being the first company in the category—and the first to offer in-air airline charcoal full-contact cook grills—and still leading the pack.

*** Ball cap of the week: I (heart) my phlebotomist
*** Coffee Mug of the Day: What’s in this mug anyway?
*** T-Shirt of the day: Duh, WINNING!
*** Today's featured musical accompaniment: Snoosh
*** The new, recommended, optional, suggested JOTW policy that asks people who submit listings on behalf of their employer consider maybe possibly sending a company stock, options, or large sums of cash to JOTW, maybe, perhaps.
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 when I get around to it. It's that simple. And we share dozens of opportunities each week. Most everyone just assumes I don’t want any money for it, so they don’t send any. But if every person who wanted me to post their stupid job sent me $300 I could get my 1988 Volvo reupholstered. d 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.
To subscribe, or to add a new e-mail address for your subscription, send
a blank e-mail to:
JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.
To unsubscribe: JOTW-unsubscribe@topica.com.
To change your address, do both. I can't do it for you.
You are welcome to distribute this to fellow communicators. You would do it anyway whether you were welcome or not.
