***  Welcome to the latest edition of the number one Defense Career Opportunities Newsletter, “DEFCON-1,” a networking newsletter featuring job opportunities and career advice for those who are part of the global defense, aerospace, maritime, marine technology and security industry. 

DEFCON 1 brings you job opportunities every week, and counts on members like you to submit job listings to share and post in this newsletter.

 

Help the network grow.  Sign up a friend.  They can join for free simply by visiting and selecting DEFCON 1.

 

When you learn about a job opportunity in the defense sector, such as a position that comes open with your company, you send me the title, organization, location, and a brief description; link; or contact information, and I’ll share.  This is a cooperative network.  That means everyone’s participation is required to provide job opportunities to share. 

 

I never give out, rent, or sell my list, and neither does Topica.

***  Welcome to the JOTW network. 

 

 

***  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.    The newsletter is then posted at www.nedsjotw.com.  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.  I must limit the size of your position descriptions (generally to 500 words or less) as I have a size limit on the newsletter (HTML and text content can not exceed 123 KB), which equates to about 7,000 words total.

***  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 or Ned’s other newsletters, visit this site:

 

 

***  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.

36.)  Web Video – Writing/Research Internship SPRING 2014, Onion Inc., Chicago, IL

 

Onion Inc. is an American multimedia news organization. It features satirical articles and reporting on international, national, and local news as well as an entertainment newspaper and website known as A.V. Club.

 

The Onion’s articles comment on current events, both real and imagined. It parodies traditional newspaper and media features, such as editorials, man-on-the-street interviews, and stock quotes, as well as traditional newspaper layout and AP-style editorial voice. Much of its humor depends on presenting everyday events as newsworthy items, and by playing on commonly used phrases, as in the headline, “Drugs Win Drug War”.

 

In addition, a second part of the newspaper is a non-satirical entertainment section called A.V. Club. A.V. Club features interviews and reviews of various newly released media, and other weekly features. The print edition also contains restaurant reviews and previews of upcoming live entertainment specific to cities where a print edition is published. The online incarnation of The A.V. Club has its own domain, includes its own regular features, A.V. Club blogs, reader forums/comments, and presents itself as a separate entity from The Onion itself.

This is JOTW newsletter number 995

***  This issue of JOTW comes to you from the Jumeirah Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

 

***  Welcome to the JOTW network. 

 

 

***  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.    The newsletter is then posted at www.nedsjotw.com.  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.  I must limit the size of your position descriptions (generally to 500 words or less) as I have a size limit on the newsletter (HTML and text content can not exceed 123 KB), which equates to about 7,000 words total.
***  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 or Ned’s other newsletters, visit this site:

 

 

***  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.

There has been a suggestion that we offer a prize or prizes to the most interesting comments.  So, if you have a prize you want to offer, let Ned know at lundquist989@cs.com

 

We’re due for an updated JOTW survey, and in the past we’ve offered prizes for people who participated in the survey (selected at random).  So you may wish to offer a prize or two for the survey, too.

 

***  From one of my mentors and favorite people, Karen Vahouny, ABC:

 

 Hi Ned,

 

I just forwarded this to a student, and it reminded me to send you a note of congratulations for the upcoming big anniversary … the 1,000th newsletter.  (btw, I’ve sent copies of the newsletter to a lot of colleagues and students!)

 

I think it would be fun if you listed some of the early “stats” in the first few months of the newsletter’s creation — how many jobs listed; how many subscribers, etc.

 

And then some “key events in history,” relating to big milestones, recognition, etc.

 

I think it’s fantastic that you’ve continued to aggregate jobs and produce this — with a sense of humor and fun!

 

Karen

7.)  Director, Public AffairsPort Metro Vancouver, Vancouver, BC, Canada

 

Port Metro Vancouver (the Port or PMV) represents Canada’s largest and busiest port, trading more than $172 billion in goods over 160 trading economies annually. A non-shareholder and financially self-sufficient corporation, Port Metro Vancouver is the amalgamation of three previously existing port authorities: the Fraser River Port Authority, North Fraser Port Authority, and Vancouver Port Authority, creating a synergized entity that operates under one governance model and one leadership team.

 

As one of the most diversified ports and a significant part of British Columbia’s dynamic gateway for trade and tourism, the Port generates an estimated $9.7 billion in GDP and represents a major economic force that continuously strengthens the Canadian economy through international trade. The Port is clearly focused on the operational needs of port users and on its long-term sustainability and competitiveness. The Port’s mission is to lead the growth of Canada’s Pacific Gateway in a manner that enhances the well-being of Canadians.

 

With continued growth anticipated, PMV has created a new role in the organization – Director of Public Affairs. Reporting to the Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility, you will be responsible for providing leadership, direction, and management for strategic communications and issues management initiatives in support of PMV’s business objectives.

 

As the ideal candidate, you bring progressively senior experience in communications, public affairs, or journalism. Alternatively, senior experience in government or public policy development will be considered. Experience working on communication strategies with respect to policy issues is an asset. Working with all levels of the organization, as well as external stakeholders, to develop and lead public affairs activities by anticipating future trends in the sector affecting PMV will be key.  You will also act as a spokesperson for PMV and liaise with media and external stakeholders to ensure PMV’s messaging is clear and timely. You will enjoy working in a collaborative environment with a team of highly capable and motivated professionals. Acting as mentor and developing talent on the team will be an important mandate.

 

This is an exciting opportunity if you are looking to make an important contribution to Canada’s success as a major trading economy and the well-being of Canadians.

 

To explore this exciting opportunity further, please contact Brian MacDonald, Amy Gill or Patrick Reynolds in our Vancouver office at  604-685-0261, or please submit your resume and related information online at www.odgersberndtson.ca/en/careers/11995.

Overqualified

If you have never been told that you are overqualified, then you must be doing something wrong.

It is very easy to be thought of as overqualified by prospective employers, especially for those of us who are older workers. If you have two or more academic degrees, you especially should be prepared for the prejudice from hiring managers that your educational qualifications bring.

This online column is all about how to stand out. So, if you do stand out because of your educational qualifications and decades of work experience, why are you considered to be overqualified?

If you want to learn how I handled the competing goals of standing out while not appearing overqualified, please reach out for a personal interaction with me electronically using woodygoulart@me.com and I will answer your questions. I am unable to post confidential career information about myself here online, but I certainly will help you by candidly answering your career advancement questions by email.

And, believe me, I have been told many times that I am overqualified, so I know what’s what: I have a doctoral degree and a master’s degree plus decades of professional experience. This has earned me a lot of prejudice from hiring managers.

The lessons I learned in my job searches are simple: No matter how qualified you are, be sure that you tailor your presentation differently for every time you apply for a new job posting. You need to know what the hiring manager is looking for and present yourself in ways that will make you stand out as the best choice.


Share your comments and suggestions on the subject of being overqualified. I look forward to hearing from you today! Use the comment box below to post your opinions here on Ned’s JOTW site.

***  Google Launches World’s First High-Resolution Interactive Map of Global Deforestation

 

by Lidija Grozdanic

 

Google Earth just launched the first high-resolution map of global deforestation. The project was developed in collaboration with the University of Maryland, NASA and USGS by analyzing 654,178 Landsat images from the last ten years. The interactive map (http://earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest) will hopefully make a difference in fighting deforestation – especially since studies have shown that tropical forest loss is increasing by 2,101 square kilometers (811 square miles) each year.

***  America’s elk migration

 

Elk are naturally a migratory species.  If the seasons are mild,  with little variation between their winter and summer climates, they might not migrate.  For example, Roosevelt Elk found in the Pacific Coast regions in California, Oregon and Washington States do not migrate.   But other subspecies of elk in North America migrate—between high elevations in the summer and lower in the winter—up to a 100 miles.  Elk are often referred to by their native name, wapiti.  A herd is actually called a gang. 

 

http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/elk/

 

Tom and I camped during the summer in a large plain that was a wintering ground for elk in the Gros Ventres valley in Wyoming.  Elk bones were everywhere.

 

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem elk herd numbers over 200,000 individuals and during the spring and fall, they take part in the longest elk migration in the continental U.S. Elk in the southern regions of Yellowstone National Park and in the surrounding National Forests migrate south towards the town of Jackson, Wyoming where they winter for up to six months on the National Elk Refuge. Conservationists there ensure the herd is well fed during the harsh winters.

 

Many of the elk that reside in the northern sections of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem migrate to lower altitudes in Montana, mainly to the north and west.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elk

 

While in the Gros Ventres wilderness, Tom and I worked with fellow Scouts participating in the 2008 ArrowCorps 5 service project in Bridger-Teton National Forest, removing barbed wire from rangeland so the elk and pronghorn antelope can follow their migratory routes.

 

“In the Pinedale Ranger District of the forest, the Dutch Joe Fence Removal project will remove five miles of fence that will then be packed out on a mule string.   This project takes place at Dutch Joe which is south of Pinedale, Wyoming.  2-5 miles of fence will be removed from remote sites in the Dutch Joe area resulting in wildlife habitat enhancement.”

***  Restoring your faith in mankind, From Jack Duggan:

 

Ned –

 

Not, perhaps, the most dramatic travel story, but certainly anxiety-provoking for a  few hours.

 

With my youngest son I arrived at the Rogue Valley/Medford International Airport (yes, locals laugh at the “international” designation) with plenty of time.  We checked in and I tucked my I.D. into my shirt pocket.  I set my coat on the back of a chair, my bag beside me.  They called the flight and I got up and went through security.

 

We were flying to L.A. where I was to appear as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune (show will air Jan. 23, 2014).  As we touched down at LAX I thought, “Where’s my jacket?”  With my wallet, my cash and my credit cards!  Most important, my Social Security I.D., required of contestants on WoF, was in that wallet.  As my mind backtracked, I realized I had left the jacket hanging on the chair in the Medford Airport.  ULP!

 

I turned my phone on when we reached the terminal and there was a message from my wife; my jacket had been turned in and was being held for me in Medford.  But I still had no Social Security I.D., no credit cards and only the cash in my pocket. 

 

At the hotel I somewhat sheepishly explained the situation to the manager and used their cash machine (that card I keep with me) to pay for our lodging.  Then I called my brother, who is also my tax preparer, and he faxed me Social Security documents.

 

I can’t reveal the outcome of my appearance on WoF, but I can’t wonder if it mightn’t have been different.  If only….

 

Walk in Peace – Jack

*** National Rail-Trail of the month:

Trail of the Month: November  2013

Michigan’s Dequindre Cut Greenway

By Laura Stark

 

“It went from a really crazy idea to a world-class community asset.”

 

Everyone has heard about Detroit’s troubles: the bankruptcy, the population decline, abandoned buildings and urban decay. What’s not often heard is the story of the strength, resilience and pride of Detroiters. Underneath the rubble of bad press, hope grows as a revitalized riverfront and developing trail system are changing the way people think about the Motor City. A signature component of this movement, the Dequindre Cut Greenway, is itself a Cinderella story.

 

“Detroit is not some dying city that nobody wants to be in,” says Eric Oberg, trail development manager in the Midwest Regional Office of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC). “That’s not the narrative on the ground there. We can’t say that everything is rainbows and unicorns; there are problems, but people are facing those problems, not dwelling on them.”

 

The Dequindre Cut—once a haven for derelicts and drug activity and now a well-loved showpiece with a uniquely Detroit flavor—is the epitome of this sentiment. The “Cut” is a wide trench in downtown Detroit, just over a mile long, that was sunk 25 feet below street level in the 1920s by the Grand Trunk Railroad to avoid foot and vehicle traffic, which continued overhead unimpeded on more than a dozen bridges. Passenger and freight service was discontinued on the line in the early-to-mid 1980s and the corridor sat vacant. Weeds and underbrush took over, and trash littered the way.

 

“The immediate universal reaction to the idea of building a trail there was, ‘You are out of your freaking mind,'” recalls Tom Woiwode, director of the GreenWays Initiative of the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan.

 

Yet, anchored by two of the city’s cultural and historical touchstones, the corridor held promise. At its northern end was Eastern Market, a commercial district centered around a six-block farmers market in operation since 1891. At the other end was the Detroit River, a key part of the Great Lakes system and an international border (counterintuitively, you have to go south from Detroit to enter Canada).

 

This was not the first time Woiwode had faced an uphill battle. In 1999, he had the vision of using greenways to connect 250 municipalities within the seven-county area that included and surrounded Detroit. The program he developed, the GreenWays Initiative, was the first of its kind in the country. The effort was launched in 2001 with the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan setting out to raise $25 million from the private sector to leverage $50 million in public dollars for the design, planning, and funding of greenways in the region.

 

RTC supported the effort, compiling a report on the abandoned rail corridors in the greater Detroit region that could potentially be converted into rail-trails. At first, not everyone was on board. “There was a sizeable push-back by a number of foundations,” says Woiwode. “They said ‘Detroit is the Motor City. You’re never going to be able to build trails here.'”

 

But enthusiasm for the idea grew and eventually the organization surpassed even its most ambitious goals. One of the projects that was partially funded by the GreenWays Initiative was the Dequindre Cut. The trail’s pavement was laid in the 2008 and, although it wasn’t officially opened yet, Woiwode recalls the high sense of anticipation. “I would be standing on a bridge looking over the construction site and would see people crawling over the barricades because they were so excited by how cool this thing was.” When the greenway opened the following summer, “It went from a really crazy idea to a world-class community asset.”

 

To help allay fears, the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy, stewards of the trail, installed a series of emergency call boxes and security cameras along the route, and created a uniformed security force to patrol the Cut and adjacent Detroit RiverWalk by foot and bike. Today, Marc Pasco, communications director for the organization says, “Crime along the riverfront and the Dequindre Cut is virtually nonexistent.”

 

Not only was the new trail a safe and useful link through the city, it offered something not found elsewhere: The graffiti-covered walls along the Cut were left alone by the trail’s proponents.

 

“The artwork is a local stamp that lets Detroiters know that this is us, this is who we are, this is our trail,” says Oberg. “The graffiti along the trail makes a big impact that people get. The artwork is prominent, not subtle, and makes an impression.”

 

Prior to the greenway’s opening, the revitalization of city’s riverfront—which the Dequindre Cut would eventually link to—paved the way for change. “Ten years ago, the Detroit riverfront wasn’t a very attractive place,” says Pasco. “There were abandoned buildings, weeded lots, cement silos, and it offered very little public access to the river.”

 

Momentum took off when the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy formed in 2003. Through a public/private partnership with the City of Detroit, General Motors, the Kresge Foundation, and others, the area has been reclaimed for the public good, generating thousands of jobs and an annual spending along the riverfront of $43.7 million, according to an economic impact study published just this year.

 

The RiverWalk, at the southern end of the Dequindre Cut, connects to Milliken State Park, numerous plazas and pocket parks, and the Renaissance Center, a cluster of seven skyscrapers serving as General Motors’ world headquarters, as well as a massive shopping, dining, lodging, and entertainment complex.

 

Soon, both the RiverWalk and the Dequindre Cut Greenway will be expanding. “When we first started talking about the Dequindre Cut, a lot of people were skeptical,” says Todd Scott, the Detroit greenways coordinator for Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance. “They thought no one would use it, but now people keep asking, ‘When are you going to make it longer?'”

 

The answer is fall 2014. A northern extension of the greenway is currently underway that will add just shy of a mile of trail along the former railroad corridor up to Mack Avenue.

 

“I’ve lived in Southeast Michigan my entire life,” says Pasco. “I’ve seen it through not so great times, but things are starting to transform. There’s an electricity in the air now that you can almost feel, a sense of vibrancy and urgency in Detroit that’s been missing for a long time.”

 

Oberg, who met with the city’s trail advocates and planners this summer felt it, too. “The take-away from our visit was that Detroit is not going to stay down,” he says. “There’s a lot of positive energy and good things going on there. It’s a wonderful American city.”

 

Grade: The trail itself is relatively flat, but runs through a corridor 25 feet below street level.

 

Getting There: Detroit Metro Airport (1 Detroit Metropolitan Airport Tram) sits about 20 miles southwest of the trail.

 

Access and Parking: Free parking is available at Rivard Plaza, one block west of William G. Milliken State Park. From the lot, take the Detroit RiverWalk east along Atwater Street to the start of the Dequindre Cut Greenway.

 

To navigate the area with an interactive GIS map, and to see more photos, user reviews and ratings, plus loads of other trip-planning information, visit RTC’s free trail-finder website, TrailLink.com.

 

Rentals: Bicycle rentals—cruisers, hybrids, road bikes, and tandems—are available along the RiverWalk from Wheelhouse Detroit (1340 E. Atwater Street; info@wheelhousedetroit.com; 313-656-2453). Helmets and locks are included, and accessories such as baby seats and trailers are also available. A variety of guided tours are available from the shop as well.

*** Trail/Outdoor/Conservation volunteer opportunities:

 

1.)  Volunteer service opportunities, Shawnee National Forest, Harrisburg, Illinois

 

Join the Shawnee Volunteer Corps !

 

Volunteers with many different skills are needed to assist with the various programs on the Shawnee National Forest. Volunteer opportunities vary in length, type of skill required, and even where they are located (outside on the trails or in the office at a desk).

 

Public involvement plays an important part in managing our national forest lands. The Shawnee National Forest relies more and more on volunteers to assist with campgrounds and other programs.  Concerned citizens help the forest to provide better wildlife habitat, identify and preserve historic sites, and build and maintain trails. Read the latest news about the Shawnee Volunteer Corps in the Volunteer Vibe newsletter.  There are numerous volunteer trail improvement projects offered through out the year. College Groups are welcome to complete our Alternative Spring Break Application so that we can plan and organize their volunteer experience.

 

For more information about volunteering for specific projects on the forest, contact the Shawnee Volunteer Corps at (618) 833- 8576 extension 115 or email at shawneevolunteercorps@yahoo.com.

2.)  Volunteer Project, Lapolosa Wilderness, Enkpsini Wilderness Experience, South Africa

http://www.enkosini.org/LapolosaWilderness.htm

 

3.)  Climb Leader, Mazamas, Portland OR

 

Our climb leaders go through a rigorous training program that teaches both hard skills of technical climbing and the soft skills of managing a climb team.

 

For complete details, see the Climb Leader Development pages (http://www.mazamas.org/your/adventure/starts-here/C85/).

 

A vital part of the Mazamas mission is to provide climbing opportunities for Mazamas members and non-members. These climbs depend on the volunteer efforts of climb leaders. The history of the Mazamas is one of a proud tradition of volunteerism, leading climbs in the Northwest and beyond for well over a century. While the Mazamas are not a guide service, all climb leaders receive training at the highest standards. This training is monitored and encouraged through the Mazamas Climb Leader Development Program.  The purpose of the Leadership Development Program is to provide sufficient training and learning opportunities for the development of climb leaders for Mazama activities.

 

A leader is a member whose skills and experience are considered to be adequate for assuming the formal leadership role for an activity. The leader is NOT a commercial guide and Mazamas provides no certification to a leader. Leaders have some expenses reimbursed, but are NOT paid for their role.

 

A leader is expected to have sufficient technical skills in mountaineering to comfortably complete the routes he/she leads.  Required skill levels will vary depending on the difficulty of routes the leader wants to climb.

 

A leader is expected to have both studied and demonstrated in the field basic accident management and rescue skills appropriate to the climb being led. First aid skills appropriate to mountaineering are required.

 

Experience is a key element for a qualified leader. As a general rule, a climber is expected to have completed at least a dozen climbs before applying to the program.  No list of criteria alone is sufficient to ensure any individual is appropriate to be a leader for the Mazamas. The Climbing Committee will always use their judgment in appointing leaders. 

 

The Mazamas climb leadership development program is designed to:

•Provide opportunities for candidates to develop leadership skills and additional mountaineering experience.

•Increase candidates visibility within the Mazamas, increasing opportunities to meet as many leaders and members as possible.

•Allow the maximum number of leaders to view and critique the climbing and leadership skills of the candidate.

•Provide a standardized review base for evaluating a candidate’s leadership development; ensuring the level of leadership proficiency expected by the Mazamas.

The crew is made up of 8 – 10 volunteers each week led by experienced paid staff. The GMC will provide food, group camping gear, tools, skills training, and pretty good times. This crew works every year from mid- July through late September. A minimum of one week commitment is required, although people can choose to stay longer!

 

To apply, just use the standard volunteer application. To learn about our sister volunteer trail crews on other parts of the Appalachian Trail go to Appalachian Trail Conservancy web page.
