How to Post a Job on This Website

Your Job of the Week listing can be posted in the next issue (Monday morning), along with the other 50 to 100 job opportunities. The newsletter will then be posted here at www.nedsjotw.com. To submit a job, send the listing to lundquist989@cs.com. This is a free service.

If you want to immediately push your job listing-–by itself--out to the network of nearly 10,000 professional communicators, I can send it out as a “Can’t Wait” posting for $300 for highest impact and instant results. “Can’t Wait” postings are also posted here on this website, and can also be posted in the next newsletter for maximum exposure. This gives your posting the highest impact.

Listings should include job title, organization or company, and a location. A brief description is optional, and a really long description is frowned upon. Include a link, contact info or specific instructions for a candidate to follow-up.

If you are not already a member of this network, please subscribe by sending a blank email to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.

If you are submitting a job on behalf of your employer, I should remind you of the optional suggested policy that recommends you consider perhaps sending a company ball cap, shirt or coffee mug, maybe, perhaps. I’m thinking XL.
