*** From Scott White:

47.) Head of Healthcare Practice for a global PR agency, Boston, MA

An opportunity to lead the healthcare practice of one of the world's leading PR agencies doesn't come up everyday. People tend to stay at the agency because they promote from within, which includes moving up within the same office or even moving abroad to work in one of their 70+ offices. We are looking for someone who is hungry to take a strong practice/office with an enviable client list and take it up a notch. Actually, we want someone who will skip a few notches and really make this group a force within the Boston and New England healthcare community.

Is this you?

• Call me a VP, SVP, or Managing Director. It doesn't matter to me. I'm more focused on the work.

• I am an expert in one or more of these industries: pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device and diagnostics, managed care or healthcare IT.

• For the past 10+ years, I have worked in PR at an agency, corporation or both. I want to be at an agency.

And here's why …

• I love working with clients vs. just managing people who interface with clients. I don't just work at a high level developing strategies. Being hands on and doing the work is not beneath me!

• My expertise in Rx product lifecycle and the US healthcare regulatory environment is off the charts.

• I have a good pulse on what's happening in the market. I know who the emerging, mid-sized and established players are across pharmaceutical, biotech and the medical device arenas.

• I'm not a one-trick pony. I am equally skilled in issues management, pre-launch media relations, launch planning and programming. I employ a mix of online and offline strategies and tactics and stay current on the latest tools in the marketplace.

• I'm a know-it-all, at least when it comes to Working in several disease/therapeutic categories. My experience is quite diverse. I have worked on …

• I know how to make an international call. My clients and colleagues are all over the world and I frequently work with them on global initiatives.

• I move the needle. My clients hire me to drive their business, not just to crank out press releases. I get it.

• But when a crisis strikes, I am the first person they call for media counsel.

• New clients don't fall into my lap. I maintain contact with my network but I work hard to foster relationships. I keep an eye out for new opportunities and pursue them wisely. I do my research, leverage resources from my organization and go after the right kind of business. I like to win. And I do!

• I have managed people directly and cross functionally.

• Building relationships is one of my core strengths. And I am especially good at it within my own organization.

• I live in the Boston area or want to move there. If I don't already love the Red Sox, I will learn to love them. Or I will fake it.

• No need to consider other resumes. I have what it takes and want to learn more about this role.

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

Hi,

I wanted to submit a paragraph about myself for the Short Self Pitch, so here it is!

I have recently graduated from Endicott College in Beverly, MA, with a

Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality & Tourism focusing on Event Management.

I have completed three internships in the Hospitality Industry. The

internships were at The Aqua Turf Club, an Event Facility in Connecticut

focusing on Banquets and Weddings, the Chifley Hotel Group in Australia

during a semester abroad, and the Boston Harbor Hotel, interning with

the Sales and Catering Department. I have held several customer service

and clerical positions. I am well versed in the Microsoft Office Suite

and am familiar with the Delphi and Opera Operating systems. I believe

that I would be a great addition to your company. I am a well

organized, hard working individual who is anxious to start my career in

the Event Industry. I think that my combination of customer service and

event planning makes me a perfect candidate to join your team.

Thank you!

Caitlin Krista

82.) Bowling Alley Attendant, Needham Bowlaway, Needham, MA

http://bit.ly/fk5GGo

OK, Captain, I checked into this listing. I felt qualified because of my previous experience working for this type establishment during the late 1940s in Arlington, Texas. Back then I think we were simply called pin boys; but those were simpler times.

The JOTW job in Massachusetts places a heavy emphasis on being cheerful and liking kids (an oxymoron if ever I heard one). As I recall my personal experience, it was a challenge to keep smiling when you were focused on not getting hit by flying bowling pins, particularly when some nere-do-well would role a strike. You mostly had to worry about that on league nights, which drew a more accurate bowler into the bowling alley.

All bowling establishments were called “alleys” back then, even the one in Arlington that was on the second floor — through a plate glass door and up a flight of stairs.

My most vivid memory is of the bowler who unintentionally released the ball at the top of his backswing. We saw it bounce once on its way to the stairs. Then we heard the ball hit several stairs as it gathered momentum and crashed through the door at the bottom, continuing across the sidewalk and out into the street before rolling to a stop.

It was deathly quiet on the second floor for a brief, short moment before the onslaught of offensive language that no boy (pin or otherwise) should be subjected to. Please don't ever give up your alternative job opportunities.

Thanks for your support. –Connie
