This is JOTW newsletter number 1,001

“It is always during a passing state of mind that we make lasting resolutions.”

– Marcel Proust

*** Welcome to the JOTW network.

*** This edition of JOTW comes to you from Stockholm, Sweden.

*** 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.

JOTW is sent out on Mondays by email with a list the jobs posted in the full newsletter, which is posted online at www.nedsjotw.com. This is designed to keep the size of the emails to a more manageable length.

*** Posting a job is free. The newsletter is 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 may 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 cannot 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.

*** This week’s top job …could be your job! Companies who need the right person now can post athe top job for a modest expense that will help pay for Ned’s next family vacation.

*** 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.

*** 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.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:

Are you looking for a smart, practical, and resourceful Communications Director or Specialist? Then maybe you’ll consider my background.

What I’ll bring to your table: Communications professional and multi-linguist with nearly 15 years of generalist and specialized experience including agency, non-profit, corporate communications and several years working overseas. This work includes honing the major skill sets you’d expect to find in a communications professional: writing communications plans, media trainings, giving presentations and writing copy.

But just as important is my ability to work within a team, fostering solid working relationships and the positive results those can produce. You’ll find I have a friendly, direct and highly verbal communication style – a great listener and natural teacher with a knack for asking astute questions and collaborating with internal and external colleagues to help you achieve win-win results.

You’ll get an enthusiastic professional with a sense of urgency for the multiple communications strategies, goals and tasks at hand for your business. Giving and receiving feedback is the only way we can all grow and improve, and I value both as essential.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:

Angela Lapre

I am an award-winning communications professional with 14 years of experience in both corporate communications and public relations. I have experience working at a Fortune 100 company and have served as a trusted counselor for C-suite executives.

Driven by effective strategic planning, I also possess strong project management skills and have successfully led cross-functional teams on a number of high-profile projects. My experience also includes serving as corporate spokesperson and crisis communications. Unafraid of both developing strategies and executing them, from internal communications to enterprise change management initiatives and beyond, the true enjoyment and dedication I have for my profession is bar none.

I am comfortable working in a number of industries and have served in both PR agencies and in-house internal communications departments and can be a valuable asset in either environment.

As a final note, which demonstrates my keen ability to write for a number of different audiences and key stakeholders, I’m pleased to share I have published my first children’s book, “Mika, The Little Snail.”

************ The Short Self-Pitch (SSP) *********************

Hi Sonja –

I’ve recently begun a job search and was hoping to be considered as a candidate
for the Short Self Pitch section of the HEPN weekly email. Thank you in advance
for the opportunity – and thank you for the great weekly blasts, it’s been a
huge asset in seeking out new opportunities!

Short Self Pitch for Wes
Peskin, CMP:

I am a results oriented Certified Meeting Professional with seven years of experience in the
meetings industry. I have a keen eye for the details, small and large, and am
very consistent at working all elements of the end to end planning process for
multiple conferences simultaneously. I have had on going success at reducing
expenses without deterring from the goals of any conference for my clients and
ensuring a positive experience for attendees through innovative customer
service solutions. I have spent the last two years as the meeting planner for a
non-profit in NYC and just completed our biannual conference for 4,500 which
held a 90,000 sq ft exhibition hall, 200+ small format workshops, and dozens of
large-format sessions. Also entailed significant musical entertainment and
production. As I begin my search – I’m open to any opportunity, however I’m
primarily focusing my search in the New York City and Washington, D.C. metro
regions, as well as the Western U.S. If anyone has any opportunities they think
I might be a good match for, an email would be greatly appreciated, I can be
reached at WSPeskin@gmail.com

Thanks again for the opportunity to include this in the next edition,

Wes

ALSAC is the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. Because of funds raised through ALSAC, no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude, allowing families to concentrate on the thing that matters most – helping their child live.

Since opening more than 50 years ago, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of life. Join that mission by visiting stjude.org or following us on facebook.com/stjude and twitter.com/stjude.
