*** Tenth anniversary observations:

*** Ten years down the hatch:

Good day, Ned! On the occasion of JOTW's 10th anniversary, here are some memories of JOTW and its nedwork:

I was an early-ish adopter of JOTW – back in 2001 or 2002. After doing communication work for years, but without the word “communication” in my title, I was a newly-minted official communications professional, with a still-wet BA in my grasp. A colleague, Irene Monley, suggested I join up. I immediately felt at home with the nedwork, although I've since misplaced my membership card.

Here's what I like about JOTW:

• Quotations – oft irreverent yet relevant, I scour each issue for these gems.

• Musical accompaniment – from the obscure to the sublime. In fact, once you featured my parents' CD, the Ken and Barb Lemons Quartet (jazz classics).

• The suggested, perhaps, maybe policy regarding the submission of t-shirts, hats or other trinkets (size XL). I think I sent you a small model truck once (size Tom Thumb).

• Piracy reports – when I was in grad school, during our international logistics class' discussion of the perils of shipping, I educated the class on modern piracy. Even the professor did not believe me when I said I received weekly piracy reports (but I improved my class standing when I proved it).

• Alternative job opportunities – I like them. I read them every week, even when I don't read the communication jobs because I'm such a happy camper that I'm not looking to change jobs just yet. For those of you who think they should be dropped from JOTW: Get your own listserv if it bothers you. Scroll past it, or close your eyes until the scary part is over.

• Good, old-fashioned American storytelling – I doubt I am the only reader who enjoys the stories about Ned's travels, family, pals, dog, the Navy and the Boy Scouts.

• Humor me – please! Even though I know it's coming, I can still be surprised by the March 32nd issue. I get a kick out of the sass provided by Ned, Mike, Connie, Robert, et al. Keep it coming!

Here's what I don't like about JOTW:

In honor of the start of JOTW's second decade, I'll offer up an old Scottish toast (you'll have to imagine me speaking in a very bad Scottish burr):

Here's to ye

Who's like ye?

No one –

They're all dead.

Here's to ye, faithful Ned! Thanks for the hundreds of emails and thousands of job listings, quotes, stories and quips.

Kind regards, cj

Connie J Mayse, MBA

*** From Kris Gallagher, ABC:

For 10 years, Ned's JOTW has stopped me from feeling guilty.

You see, I used to find out about job openings, but often didn't have any friends or professional colleagues who were interested in the spot. I always felt guilty about clicking the delete button, like I was throwing away a perfectly good sweater just because it didn't fit me. Somebody, somewhere, needed it.

Then along came Ned. (Anybody remember the tune to “Along Came Jones?”) Suddenly, I had a fast and easy way to circulate all those openings to people who were on the hunt. I have no idea if any of Ned's readers have gotten the jobs I've shared. But, I know they all had the chance to try on those “sweaters.” Instead of feeling bad about hitting “delete,” I feel good about hitting “send”. And that is a feeling I've been able to enjoy nearly every week for years.

Thanks, Ned. You're an angel (a tough, hard-nosed angel, but an angel nevertheless).

Kris Gallagher, ABC

*** From Larry Bearfield:

JOTW is 10???!!! Holy crap – no way!! That means that when JOTW was born I was pushing 50… My 3 Grandchildren weren't born yet and even Ferns Country Store had yet to arrive! I think we were still producing OpSki (Operation Ski & Snowboard) back then. I dunno. 10 years is a long time and my mind doesn't recall stuff. That's why we all have you. My hat is off to you Ned – you've persevered… you've put up with the rants…. you've taken the hits.. you've taken your initial kernel of an idea and nurtured it along into something that few understood in the beginning (and some are clueless still). One of the best parts is that I was there at the beginning when we talked about it. It's been fun watching JOTW grow up. But the even better part is that you've refused to grow up with it! Congrats! On to the 10 Years After.

*** An Essay on JOTW’s 10th Anniversary

Mike Sorohan

Ned Lundquist, ABC, recently brought to my attention that JOTW reached its 10th anniversary. He need not have reminded me, for I’ve had it circled on my calendar for quite some time now, in red, with cartoon hearts and exclamation points. I haven’t been this excited since my first Kelly Clarkson concert.

Ten years! And to think, I was there at the birth–and what an ugly birth it was: a prolonged labor; a difficult delivery; a great deal of blood and other fluids; and lots of cursing and screaming (followed later by heartfelt apologies and “I really didn’t mean those things I said about you,” endearments).

If truth be told, the baby was ugly. It didn’t even look like Ned—the font was wrong, for one thing. But Ned didn’t care; he paraded it around the Internet like an overbearing mom on “Toddlers and Tiaras” and insisted that JOTW would fill a niche that, like a Chilean mine, needed a parallel tunnel dug next to it, then be sealed forever.

Ten years later, JOTW has not only fulfilled its mission, it has thrived. If JOTW could be on a Pee-Wee football team, it would be the overachieving quarterback who reaches puberty before everyone else, scoring seven touchdowns a game, leading the defense in tackles and interceptions and handling kickoff duties. If JOTW were a Boy Scout, it would be the youngest Eagle Scout in history. Twice.

Not that there haven’t been growing pains. There was the One-Paragraph Pitch that ran longer than a Harry Potter book (even the person’s name was long). Recently, controversy raged like a Southern California wildfire about whether whimsical non-communications jobs such as “Sewer Technician–Hastings, Nebraska” should be listed. Then there was the Canadian Border Incident, which resulted in JOTW being banned in Saskatchewan for three months. But I digress.

Over the years, JOTW has linked thousands of communications professionals to thousands of job openings. It offers advice for the lovelorn (K.I.S.S.—Kommunicators In Search of Someone); provides career advice to those who ask (thanks in part to a “Dream Team” of handpicked professionals who, when they’re not actually doing what Ned asked them, operate like a Secret Ops Oprah Book Club); and engages in meaningful philanthropy, such as collecting books for a communications center in Ethiopia. And it has alerted us to the dangers of shipping piracy, reminding us that if we ever decide to quit our communication job and buy an oil tanker, we should exercise caution while navigating the Somali coast.

It speaks volumes that many of the thousands of professionals who subscribe to JOTW aren’t even looking for jobs. They see JOTW as a networking opportunity; a chance to keep their ear to the ground about communication trends; a forum to discuss ideas; a source for advice and feedback. Employers have come to rely on JOTW as a front-line resource to reach thousands of engaged, top-notch communicators who knew what “social networking” was before Mark Zuckerberg got out of diapers.

JOTW serves as an agent of change in an era in which change is a constant. It prepares us for change; nay, it insists that change is not something to be feared, but rather, something that should be wrestled to the ground and forced into submission. Someone—I think it was me—once said, “Life is too short to be stuck in a job you don’t like.” JOTW is a tool that empowers us to take a step back and say “I deserve better.” And we do deserve better (actually, I really like my job, but I’m using “we” in a collective, networking sense).

Ned has put together issues of JOTW from all over the world—Ethiopia; India; Korea; Italy; Sweden; Iraq; even Texas. By listing jobs from all over, Ned has shrunk the world and helped communicators expand their possibilities. Why run a listing for a job in Belgium? Well, why not? Haven’t we all dreamed of moving to Belgium and speaking Phlegmish? Haven’t we dreamed of eating fresh Brussels sprouts, instead of settling for frozen?

For 10 years, JOTW has dared us to challenge ourselves, to think outside the box, to think outside the block, to think outside the confines of our current geography and to consider our role in a global context. Sure, we are just one person out of seven billion, but JOTW reminds us that we are the most important person and that we can make a difference—just as long as we remember to put the “l” in “public.”

*** Holiday cheer:

Ned,

May your Christmas be merry and bright, and may you find in each day of the new year reasons to celebrate.

You are a blessing to me and so many people. Thanks for all you do!

*** Tenth anniversary observations:

Ned,

You invited reflections upon the 10th Anniversary or JOTW. I offer the following musings for consideration and/or editing.

In the midst of a crisis communications scenario, I met and became friends with a mutual friend, Jim Mitchell. He told me about Ned and his labor of love called Ned's Job of the Week. I subscribed. That was 2003.

The intervening years led to submissions of job opportunities, dialogue with Ned and an unexpected crossing of paths with my father, a retired Naval officer who presents an annual award to an outstanding Chief Petty Officers in honor of an ancestor. Strange but true. (Ned has covered the ceremony commemorating the George Sirian Award and the related cruise aboard the USS Constitution.)

By far, the most extraordinary evidence of Nedworking through JOTW occurred in July 2008. I'd submitted a job to Ned and he included my name and/or city. A long lost friend with whom I'd worked during my ad agency career saw the posting. She wrote to Ned. Ned wrote to me.

“Could I be the same Heather that Geri had worked with in Princeton, NJ so many years ago???”

Yes. It was true.

I received the news on a vacation in the wilds of Canada but could not wait to find an internet connection to confirm that it was me. During vacation, I eagerly sought opportunities to catch up with Geri.

Fast forward to today: A week is not complete without Geri and I sharing our successes, tribulations, news and updates. Today, Geri enjoys a fabulous career as a media relations and PR pro. I found my niche (so far) in government public affairs and marketing. By learning, sharing and, yes — Nedworking — we become better and more valuable to our clients and/or employers.

Moral? Submit. Contribute. Chime in. Participate in the wonders of Nedworking.

Heather Murphy

(It’s what nedworking is all about.)

*** Holiday blessings:

I appreciate the opportunity for a forum to say thanks – for the fact that I am employed, and for the JOTW lifeline to the job market when I thought I would not be, for finding family that I never knew I had and being able to spend time with them, for having wonderful friends to share my joys and frustrations, for the people who share their musical talents with the world and in doing so bring such happiness to mine.
