“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

– Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

8.)  Associate Producer / Project Manager (5 months), Brainstorm Creative Resources, Washington, DC
OVERVIEW:
Brainstorm Creative Resources is a recruiting and staffing firm that places creative and editorial professionals into freelance and full-time positions with employers in and around Washington, DC.

Please read the job description below and/or visit http://brainstormresources.com/ApplyOnline/ for additional information regarding our firm and currently open positions with our clients.

 

DESCRIPTION: 
A well-established advocacy and lobbying organization with a focus on international affairs is looking to engage an Associate Producer / Project Manager in a five-month-long assignment that is focused on the development of programming for the organization’s annual conference.
The conference, which will be held in Washington, DC in early March, welcomes more than ten-thousand participants annually, from all 50 states and all over the world. Guests and speakers include world leaders, among them the President of the United States.

 

This position is one of five we are recruiting for currently (with more to come), that offer some overlap of required experience/skills. All positions will fold into an existing, robust Marketing & Communications team that is working on the production of the conference in March.


POSITION DETAILS: 
Our client is seeking the assistance of a mid-level, video production professional who is organized and detail-oriented, and can execute a creative vision. Great people skills are a must.

* Assist in the project management of recorded plenary session vignettes and live event stage elements.
* Research potential vignette stories and characters.
* Coordinate communication w/ speakers and story characters, including: gather assets, coordinating rehearsal needs.
* Manage scripts during the pre-rehearsal process, including: coordinating edits with the writers.
* Coordinate visual asset research and delivery. Secure rights to photos and other assets from photo and video archives and databases.
* Assemble component script, asset, show, and production elements.


HOURS / LOCATION:
We are ideally looking for someone to start immediately and work in a full-time capacity for approximately the next five months, through the end of March 2016.
We are only interested in talking with applicants who can work a regular schedule — i.e. 40-hours/week. Also, we expect that there will be regular opportunities to earn overtime pay (evening and/or weekend work) throughout this engagement, and particularly in the weeks immediately preceding the hiring organization’s conference, and during the conference.

This is an on-site position. Most work will be done at the organization’s offices in NW, DC. Some work will be done at the conference. Both locations are easily accessible via car, Metrorail and Metrobus.


RATE:
We are suggesting a pay rate range of between $35/hr and $45/hr, which we believe is in-line with the position requirements. This broad range reflects our interest in hearing from early- AND mid-career individuals who bring the proper credentials and experience. The pay rate range is equivalent to an annual salary range of $70K to $90K. The actual rate offered will be commensurate with your experience and will be largely based on the following factors: credentials as detailed in your resume, your interview experiences with Brainstorm Creative Resources and/or our client, and quality of reference providers and references provided.


APPLICATION:
Please follow these steps to apply:

 

1) Visit http://brainstormresources.com/ApplyOnline/.
2) At the top of the page, chose to search jobs in “Any” location.
3) All available opportunities will be listed. Please click on the appropriate position title.
4) Read the Employer Overview and complete Job Description.

-> Complete your personal profile,

-> Indicate your specific software application skills,
-> Upload a resume and other documents you consider relevant (work samples, references, etc.).
Only candidates currently residing within a commutable distance of Washington, DC should apply. Applicants not currently living in Washington, DC, Maryland or Virginia, or who inquire without a cover letter, resume and/or work samples should not expect to receive a response.

Want to spend 13 weeks writing blogs and articles about sustainable development projects in the heart of the Malaysian rainforest or the bustling communities of Tanzania?

 

Raleigh International is recruiting Communications Officers to volunteer on our 13 week expeditions next this September in Malaysian Borneo and Tanzania. If you have experience in communications, copywriting, marketing or PR you could be the right person to join one of our international teams and contribute to creating lasting change.

 

The Communications Officer role helps bring our expeditions to life. You’ll be situated both at fieldbase (Raleigh’s in-country headquarters), and on the road visiting Raleigh’s community, environment and adventure projects gathering material for blogs and our social media channels. You will work closely with the expedition photographer, volunteers and other project managers to generate a variety of media to showcase the progress and achievements of the expeditions.

 

All our volunteer managers are encouraged to fundraise for Raleigh International before the expedition, but once you are in country, Raleigh will cover the cost of your food, accommodation, training and preparation, specialist equipment, and insurance (excluding personal belongings cover). In addition to this target, you will need to fund your own flights to and from the expedition country, vaccinations, personal kit and a visa, if required.

 

Once you have submitted your application you will then be invited to attend an assessment weekend. If you are based overseas, a telephone or Skype interview can be arranged.

 

Plan ahead and use your creative and communications skills in a dramatically different environment next spring.

Come to Las Vegas. Learn. Play. Network.

October 21, 2015 | Author: Woody Goulart

This event is in the past.
 
new_york_new_york_las_vegasAs President of the Las Vegas chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) 2015 through 2016, I invite you to come to Las Vegas for an exciting special event entitled Intranets, Content, & Collaboration. This professional development conference (December 9 – 11, 2015) is for anyone who needs to learn the latest about success in employee communications using digital technology.

I am pleased to have been selected as a featured speaker. Here you will learn success stories in employee intranets so you, too, can engage your workforce to drive better business results.

Are you’re looking to transform your multi-generational culture with your employee intranet? Will new technologies and social media challenge your patience and perseverance?

If you want your employees to welcome your intranet into their daily work and actually use it, the path to success involves answering these crucial questions correctly for your organization:

  • How do you position new technologies in the workplace for every employee?
  • Who can help make or break your intranet?
  • What expectations should you embrace for using social business apps?
  • When do you want leaders to endorse and recommend usage of your intranet?
  • Where are the stress points, barriers to success, and roadblocks?
  • Why do you need to have an intranet at all?

In my session you will benefit directly from my unique perspectives, guidance, and lessons learned from my years of employee intranet and internal communications leadership experience within 3 very different organizations.

The United States Naval War College (NWC) anticipates a full-time faculty opening in the Center for Naval Warfare Studies (CNWS) in Newport, RI, and invites applications for the position of Professor with rank and salary commensurate with experience and credentials.

 

The Naval War College is a graduate-level Professional Military Education institution serving the Nation, the Department of Defense, and the U.S. Navy. The College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and offers a Master of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies.

 

CNWS serves as the nexus for broad-based, advanced research on the naval contribution to a national strategy. The Center produces scholarship and original research and fosters critical and innovative thinking on current and evolving operational challenges of importance for the Navy and the nation. The Center links the Naval War College to the fleet and policymakers in Washington by serving as a focal point for strategic and operational thought; by integrating strategic, operational, and tactical concepts; by linking strategic concerns with technological developments; and finally, by testing and evaluating concepts through methods including war gaming, operations research, policy analysis, and traditional scholarship.

 

The prospective faculty member will be a member of the Center’s China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI). He or she will focus primarily on the People’s Republic of China’s naval, military, and national security strategies, policies, and capabilities, especially involving regions and potential crisis areas with significant maritime implications. He or she should focus on issues affecting core U.S. national security interests, including but not limited to Asian security broadly defined, Chinese decision-making and civil-military-relations, naval and maritime capabilities, nuclear strategy and operations, and Chinese relations with its neighbors in the Indo-Pacific.

 

Qualified candidates should have a terminal degree from an accredited university; a research-oriented Ph.D. is preferred. A high degree of competency in reading and speaking the Chinese (Mandarin) language is highly desirable. The best candidates will have experience in evaluating strategic, operational, and tactical concepts; knowledge of relevant military systems; and a sound background in research methods. Candidates must be U.S. citizens and capable of obtaining a Department of Defense TOP SECRET/SCI security clearance.

 

The selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment drug screening test and to random drug testing thereafter. Any current or prior military service should be described including assignments, positions held, highest rank attained, and dates of service.

Applicants should reference VA#NWC-16-04 and forward their application package to: cnwschnvacancy@usnwc.edu. The application package should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae or resume, and three references. Applications will be accepted until November 30, 2015.

Questions can be e-mailed to Dr. Peter Dombrowski at dombrowp@usnwc.edu.  The Naval War College is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
