JOTW 13-2018
March 26, 2018
This is JOTW newsletter number 1,745
“If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.”
– W. Somerset Maugham
This edition of JOTW comes to you from Springfield, Virginia.
*** Welcome to the JOTW 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 new listerv. If you receive this as an email from neds-job-of-the-week@googlegroups.com, then you are on this list.
*** This week’s Can’t Wait postings:
None this week.
Can’t Wait jobs: These jobs are forwarded to the entire list as soon as they are received, and do not wait for the Monday newsletter, and are posted prominently on the JOTW website. Then they are posted first in the weekly JOTW newsletter. Can’t Wait postings cost $300. Contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.
*** This week’s Top Job:
None this week.
Top Jobs: Stand above the rest. Your job can be right here, at the top of the weekly JOTW newsletter. Top job placement costs $100 per job per week. To be on top, contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.
*** 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.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:
I love helping organizations tell their stories. For me, what we do begins and ends with storytelling and audience. Often, I research, write, and edit web content, recently helping Perfetti Van Melle (http://perfettivanmelleus.com), the famous candy manufacturer of Mentos and Airheads, re-launch its US website, and 3D titanium manufacturer Norsk Titanium re-envision its site (http://www.norsktitanium.com). I also help companies use their pasts in current campaigns and initiatives, which led to researching and writing the content for Norsk’s one-room museum at its US headquarters and earlier working with Kimberly-Clark on its 125th anniversary, which resulted in a book published by a university press. Ghostwriting is another strength, anything from full-length business books or memoirs to thought leadership pieces. My latest book – among 29 either written or edited – is a critically-acclaimed biography of Marvel icon Stan Lee.
