JOTW 48-2024
December 2, 2024
The Free Job of the Week Newsletter
This is JOTW newsletter number 2,063
“The end of a melody is not its goal: but nonetheless, had the melody not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A parable.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche
This edition of JOTW comes to you from Springfield, Virginia.
*** Welcome to the JOTW network!
You are one of more than 5,700+ members in the JOTW subscriber 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 JOTW listserv. If you received this as an email from neds-job-of-the-week@googlegroups.com, then you are on this list.
*** A special message to my JOTW subscribers
Thank you for the many notes you have sent me about JOTW coming to an end. And additional thanks to those who have volunteered to keep it going. I’ll post some of the comments in this and upcoming issues of JOTW. As for determining who to pass it along to, I hadn’t given it much thought, and I don’t have a mechanism to determine the most-worthy successor. I’m working on that now.
*** Here are some comments about the Job of the Week Newsletter and its impending shutdown:
*** From Allison Jackson:
Hi Ned,
I can’t believe that you’ve been putting out this newsletter since 2001!!! I’ve been a subscriber for probably a good 15+ years. Kudos to you for what you’ve created.
I’d hate to see the newsletter go. I know many colleagues who also rely on it for job opps (especially in this current job market).
You’ve really done an incredible job with JOTW and I thank you for it — as well as your service to our country.
Best,
Allison
*** From Karen Swim, APR:
Hi Ned,
We don’t talk nearly enough but I so appreciate all that you have done over the years for the profession. I just wanted to personally thank you. I have shared your newsletter with so many looking for jobs as a trusted resource. This is the end of an era but I commend you reclaiming your time. I think this is a theme for so many as we reassess and reallocate how we are spending our time. Life requires so much these days we have to self-preserve.
I hope someone takes up the mantel.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Karen
*** From Derin Denham:
Dear Ned,
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to this group and for publishing the newsletter. I have often shared opportunities with my professional network – and it has also been a source of motivation for students and aspiring communicators.
Wishing you the very best,
Derin
*** From Geri Rosman:
Hi Ned. I just read the news. Your email has been eagerly awaited and much appreciated over all these years. I’m not sure I’ve been a subscriber since the very beginning but I think certainly from fairly early on. Wishing you great fulfillment and enjoyment in your recaptured time. Lord knows your JOTW effort all these years, asking for nothing in return, has been above and beyond just an email in our inboxes. Wishing you many years of health and happiness ahead. Thanks so much for all you’ve done for so many of us over the years. Best/GeriRosman
Geri Rosman
*** From Anne Bentley:
Ned,
I’m sure you’ll hear from many of your followers about this transition. First, thank you for devoting so much time and energy to your fellow comms comrades. I’ve been a reader since the start. I can’t thank you enough for both the forum to share our open positions and the opportunity to see what jobs are open. It has been a true service. 23 years is a long time to devote to any endeavor. Kudos.
I would happily step forward to see everything you’ve created continue into the future.
Thank you for everything, and be in touch if you’d like to connect about going forward.
Anne Bentley
*** From Kat Snodgrass:
Thank you, Ned, for all you do and all you have done. I can’t recall how long I’ve been a member but easily 15+ years and I’ve shared postings widely in that time. Like any employees I work with, I hate to see them move on but excited by their future prospects. I wish the same for you.
Best wishes for you and your new endeavors!
Kat
*** From LB:
Hi Ned,
I’m mainly a digital comms and event person but I’ve found (and posted) a few jobs via your newsletter over the years.
That said, I would also like to thank you for your work and service to job-seekers and job posters over the years.
Best wishes,
LB
*** From James J. Henderson III:
Even though I’ve never been hired as a result of any of your postings, the newsletter is a genuine pleasure to read. I’ve been a subscriber for at least 15 years. I especially enjoy your April fools edition.
I hope that you enjoy your time. Thank you for your service.
James J. Henderson III
