Happy New Year!
The Free Job of the Week Newsletter
This is JOTW newsletter number 2,067
“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”
– Frank Herbert
I know I announced that this edition of the JOTW newsletter would be my last. I had hoped for a way to transition this network and service to someone else who could carry the torch forward. I believe we are on that track, but I will continue to publish until we are ready to pass the baton. So…stand by.
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 of 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 Michele Hart-Henry:
Ned,
Although I never found a job through JOTW, your newsletter has always been a bright spot. I’ve referred countless others to it, used it to help draft job descriptions, and generally looked to see what skills others needed and valued.
Good luck in your future endeavors, and thanks again for all you’ve done.
Michele Hart-Henry
*** From Angela Lapre:
Thank you for your years of time and service to this amazing job resource, Ned!
I hope someone picks it up and carries the torch. 🙂
Wishing you and your family and wonderful Thanksgiving,
Angela
*** From Sheila Consaul:
Thank you, Ned, for so much dedication to JOTW over the decades. It has been an invaluable resource and I have found a job (or 2) from your listings.
I sincerely hope someone takes it over as it would be a huge loss. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement from JOTW!
Sheila Consaul
*** From Debra Gersh Hernandez:
Wow! News, indeed.
While I can say I blame you, we will miss you.
Thank you for continuing this service to the comms community as long as you have. It’s been much used and appreciated by many.
Good luck and Godspeed in your next adventure!
Deb Hernandez
*** From Maureen Mazzatenta:
Dear Ned,
I knew this sad day would come. I’ve followed you/your newsletter for many years (maybe decades!) and I marvel at your ability to faithfully generate such a valuable, high quality newsletter while juggling your other adventures and endeavors.
You are a true gem and icon to the marketing communications industry. I’ve been so appreciative and grateful for all you do!
I’ll certainly miss your newsletter but wholeheartedly wish you the new-found freedom, relaxation and escapades that will come from regaining more personal time.
Best regards always,
Maureen Mazzatenta
*** From A.J. Hostetler:
Thank you for all your effort these past several years. During the Great Recession, your newsletter taught me many things, the most important of which was that I was not alone in my job search. That gave me great comfort during some very tough days. I wish you the best.
A.J. Hostetler
*** From Diane L. Salucci:
Ned,
You have been more than faithful in your efforts over the years, and I have enjoyed reading your lists (and jokes) many times! While I didn’t find a job that way, I certainly passed on leads to others that helped them in their searches. I’m now mostly retired (doing some coaching work), but hope that someone picks up on your endeavors .
In the meantime, enjoy your “time off” from the grind of producing the newsletter and know that your work was well appreciated by many you probably never heard from.
Blessings, Diane

Hi Ned,
First of all, congratulations on an amazing network newsletter. It’s a good resource and a fun read. I have read your emails faith since 2001 when the late great LeRoy Tillman shared it with me.

I wish you a wonderful holiday season.
