So if you can’t wait until the next newsletter, or have more than three jobs to share, or you want to repost a position, or just want Ned to make a few dollars for all of his effort, then the “Can’t Wait” option is right for you.

Account Directors / Account Executives, Welz & Weisel Communications, Fairfax, VA

*** 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.
You are among 10,859 subscribers in this community of communicators. While this number is about 800 subscribers less than where we were before the “troubles,” I think we now have a good list that accurately reflects the membership of the JOTW network. Thank you for staying with me.
*** The JOTW network is built upon cooperative principles. Share, and reap the benefits. And it feels good to help others. I call it selfish altruism. But this also means you need to contribute.
*** The general JOTW policy is to submit three listings per corporate recruiter or executive search firm submission. If you have more than three listings, I suggest sending out a Can’t Wait posting.

*** From Molly:
Ned, great to get the newsletter. I haven’t received it for awhile. Did I just miss it?
Cheers,
Molly
*** From TD:
Ned you may recall that I have had trouble receiving JOTW for the better part of a year. That included two intensive help center calls to my ISP which didn’t resolve the problem. Now I see from your current issue, WHICH ARRIVED IN MY INBOX YESTERDAY, that you are having some delivery problems. Whatever happened, I hope fixing me didn’t foul up the rest of your system!
(Ned’s reply: My real problems started on Oct 22, which is the last time I was able to send the JOTW newsletter by means of the Topica discussion list I had been using since 2002. I am now on a new (for me) Topica platform. I’ve sent several JOTW newsletter by way of the new platform, including the one on Monday. Topica told me they had made some adjustments, and the Monday newsletter (and last night’s Can’t Wait posting which I hope you also received), were the first since those “adjustments.” I believe we are underway on the new system, and I hope the service is reliable for you.)

24.) Part Time Account Executive, New Venture Communications, San Mateo, CA
New Venture Communications (NVC) is looking for a PART TIME account executive (AE) with strong experience and passion for media relations. This person should have either in-house or agency experience working with clients in the cloud, big data, social, and gaming markets or general IT. Working closely, and in tandem with, the agency’s staff and clients, the AE will have core responsibility for media outreach, so you really need to like pitching media. In addition, the candidate will be involved in other aspects of a client account including content development, social media, research, and participation in strategy discussions, along with new business development support. There are no boundaries at New Venture and if you want to grow in your career, we will give you that chance.
The ideal candidate should have 3-5- years of experience and must possess an affinity for writing along with solid verbal communications skills. You should have a passion for learning and listening and good organizational skills, be able to work independently and as part of a broader team, and have a basic understanding of how content and conversations are being leveraged in today’s social networking environment. Tech experience is also required, because this is the core of our business. We are looking for a candidate that can roll with the punches as things change quickly in our environment. The candidate must also be creative and fun loving, with a strong work ethic and great sense of humor. We’re looking for a top-notch performer who’ll also be a unique addition to our small but cohesive team. This position has the potential to become full time.
In a cover letter, the Candidate should outline specific media and campaign results, and provide writing and coverage samples. Candidate should also list salary requirements. Minimal travel required.
Who we are:
New Venture is a small, national boutique with a different approach. We focus on a small portfolio of clients, giving each one highly focused hands-on support from even our most senior team. We work with formative stage technology companies in the IT and clean tech markets, and we also work closely with a number of leading VC firms. This cross section of entrepreneurs and investors provides our team a unique, insightful perspective into trends and issues as well as a greater understanding of what it takes to build and grow leading companies. Our team is small and quick, with every team member sinking deeply into every aspect of every client program. There is no hierarchy, just a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and approach with limitless opportunities to try new things and collapse learning curves. This position is a great opportunity to gain a tremendous breadth of experience without being put in a box.
