We’ve been having a discussion about how to recognize the 1,000^th JOTW newsletter milestone.  We’d like to hear from those of you that have found JOTW to be a valuable resource and community for communicators.  We’re especially interested in hearing from those of you who have found a job (or two, or three); found a candidate (or two, or three), or made an important connection.  We will be establishing a webpage—appropriately called “JOTW Connect!” at www.nedsjotw.com where you can go to post comments.  You will be required to register, but hey, no biggie, right?

 

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.

 

***  Stand Out

 

“Stand Out” is available for those who want to stand out in job searches compared to the competition. Go to http://www.nedsjotw.com/jotw/stand-out/ and look around. “Stand Out” is researched and written by Woody Goulart.
