JOTW 50-2024
December 16, 2024
The Free Job of the Week Newsletter
This is JOTW newsletter number 2,065
“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.”
– Francis of Assisi
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
For all you wonderful people who sent a thoughtful note to show gratitude for being a part of this network over the years, I thank you, and will respond personally. And for those who have offered to help, I also thank you for the gesture and willingness to serve.
When I announced the ceasing of publication, and offering to pass the management on to someone who was interested, I hadn’t thought the process through. To be sure, there are plenty of you who raised their hand to help. And we all thank you. Once I realized I had a number of volunteers, I also realized I had no plan to decide how to move forward with a transition. So, I will tell you that I do have several people who will lead this effort, but all who volunteered will be given a chance to help. Just be patient. In the meantime, I will keep JOTW on its weekly schedule until such time as I can confidently pass the baton.
Thank you.
Ned
*** Here are some more comments about the Job of the Week Newsletter and its impending shutdown:
*** From Jeff Opperman:
Hi Ned:
I read your recent note about stepping back from JOTW with both gratitude and sadness.
Gratitude to you for publishing JOTW every week for the past 20 plus years and helping communicators like me find the next role. I’m not sure when I signed up under your old Topica service, but it was very early on. I may have been in your first batch of subscribers. In any event, thank you so much. In the humiliating and depressing world of the job search, your weekly note and the cooperative nature of JOTW was always a bright spot.
As far as the sadness, the thought of not seeing a JOTW email every week is just another reminder the passage of time. I actually retired about 7 months ago, but I was so used to receiving your email and scanning through the jobs that I couldn’t bring myself to unsubscribe. I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels this way.
Enjoy the next stage of your life and never forget how many people you’ve helped through JOTW. We are all grateful.
Best,
jeff opperman
*** From David A. Fechtor:
David A. Fechtor
I have no desire to fill your shoes, but I would like to thank you for the incredible amounts of time and work that you put into making JOTW such a valuable job-hunting resource over the years. While I never found a job for myself through JOTW, I often forwarded JOTW job leads to friends and former colleagues, and they found the info—which was actually from you, indirectly— to be extraordinarily valuable.
Here’s hoping that you enjoy every second of the additional time you’ll have at your disposal starting in 2025. You deserve that, and more.
Best wishes for a joyous holiday season and many Happy New Years to come.
-David

*** From Stefanie Pidgeon:
Ned,
I have followed the JOTW for almost 20 years. I have really enjoyed reading the various job postings and always loved the humor. I have recommended it to many communications professionals over the years and passed along to students looking for their first job. It’s always been my go-to job board.
I just want to say Thank You for all you have done for our profession. The networking you’ve provided through this newsletter has been invaluable.
All the best,
Stefanie Pidgeon
*** From Geri Rosman:
Good morning, Ned. Thank you for the many years you have devoted to helping so many people in the communications and public relations industries. I have been a devoted reader since almost the beginning. Thanks again so very much. I look forward to hearing from you. Best/GeriR
Geri Rosman
*** From Ray Atkinson, ABC:
Ned, thank you for devoting so much of your time and resources to JOTW. This feels like the end of an era.
I’m sure I got at least one job as a result, and it always gave me hope to see the listings every Monday when I was between gigs. I don’t know how you did it every week with your insane travel schedule, but AI’s got nothing on you.
I don’t remember if I met you first or saw the list, but I do have a vivid memory of you “pinning” me with my ABC on my birthday in 2009 in DC. It’s an honor to know you.
Ray
