This is newsletter number 843.

“Natura vero nihil hominibus brevitate vitae preaestitit melius”

– Gaius Plinius Secundus (Pliny the Elder)

(Historia naturalis, VII, 50, 168)

(Nature has granted man no better gift than the shortness of life.)

Welcome to the JOTW network. Today’s JOTW newsletter comes to you from the JOTW Remote Operations Center at Harwich Center, Massachusetts. Final compilation and tactical transmission conducted on a bench outside Brooks Free Library (see photo: http://www.nedsjotw.com/blog/_archives/2010/8/30/4617368.html).

I have had some amazing experiences this past week, and have been on the go. That’s why this newsletter may seem a bit brief. Lunch aboard USS Bon Homme Richard in San Diego on Thursday was great. Being aboard ‘Old Ironsides’ the very next day as the ship rendered a 21-gun salute to the fort at Castle Island, which was returned, was better. I also visited Scripps Institution of Oceanopgraphy, and was aboard FLIP, as well as attending the Maritime Interdiction Summit in San Diego.

This is the often-talked-about, sometimes copied, but totally unique weekly, still publishing after all these years, award-winning JOTW networking newsletter for professional communicators…like you, dedicated to the positive unanticipated consequences of networking, or as we call it, “nedworking.”

This is a cooperative service, which means it requires everyone’s cooperation, and since you are part of everyone, yes, you, I’m looking at you, don’t look down at your shoes. Everybody has to share. 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. Your friends can sign up by sending a blank e-mail to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.

You are among 11,271 subscribers in this community of communicators.

This network is all about connecting communicators and sharing opportunities. And speaking of sharing, since the JOTW newsletter was started, more than 25,000 job opportunities have been listed and shared with members of this network. 29,813 to be exact, as of today.

I can’t change your e-mail address for you. But you can. Send a blank e-mail from your old account to JOTW-unsubscribe@topica.com. Then send a blank e-mail from your new account to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.

If you can read this newsletter, then you are on the JOTW list. If you did not receive your JOTW newsletter by email in your in box this morning, it is because you have a junk mail folder, spam filter, or capacity issues on your end.

That 'H' person should just go see Leona’s show to better understand and hear out the voices of transgender women in Singapore/ Asia. I don't know many transgender, but i can say that if one is willing to suspend all judgment and personal beliefs and values, and just see them as a person who is as human as you and I, there are a number of good human hearts out there… and people who make a difference in their own communities – simply by being human.

4.) Copywriter, The Simons Group, Chicago, Illinois

Organization Profile

At The Simons Group, we get to the point. No middleman. No third parties. No extra staff to stretch the timeline and pad the budget. And speaking of budget, there are no retainers, no hourly rates and no hidden fees.

Our size and structure enable clients to communicate directly with the creative professionals who handle their work. These professionals include writers and designers who are intelligent, motivated and consider themselves extensions of each client's staff.

This close relationship streamlines the process and controls costs while producing publications that exceed their goals. And we do considerable research and negotiating with vendors such as printers and Web hosts to make sure each project is produced cost-effectively without sacrificing quality.

Finally, every publication goes through a rigorous internal approval process before the client ever sees a draft. After all, there's no point in doing something if you don't do it right.

Job Overview

Chicago-based marketing communications firm that appreciates good writing seeks business journalist with strong interviewing, editing, proofreading and client-management skills.

Job Description

The ideal candidate will be equally comfortable writing newsletter copy, brochures, Web sites, white papers, press releases and blogs, as well as doing internet research and providing feedback to our in-house graphic designers and Web coders. Because we don't have account execs, you can communicate directly with your diverse clients, including accounting and law firms, healthcare providers, management consultants and manufacturers, so experience in these or related industries will be helpful. We also encourage an entrepreneurial spirit, which makes this position perfect for someone who can take initiative, make decisions and display leadership in every aspect of what we do.

Job Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have at least five years' experience writing and editing business-to-business communications, be able to handle multiple projects at once, and be able to work under deadline pressure when necessary.

Job requirements:

* Strong interviewing, writing and editing and proofreading skills

Competitive salary and benefits, including medical/dental/401(k). We understand and appreciate good writing, editing and project management; and if you have a solid track record and a stable job history, this is a great place to do excellent work.
