“Internal peace is an essential first step to achieving peace in the world. How do you cultivate it? It’s very simple. In the first place by realizing clearly that all mankind is one, that human beings in every country are members of one and the same family.”

– The Dalai Lama

 

This edition of JOTW comes to you from Springfield, Virginia.

 

***  Welcome to the JOTW network.

 

This is the award-winning free Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for professional communicators, dedicated to the positive unanticipated consequences of networking, or as we call it, “nedworking.”  JOTW is a cooperative service.  That means JOTW relies on the contributions of its members, like you.  We share job opportunities, news and information about the job market, as well as swapping stories about life’s peculiarities.  We connect you with others who are like you, and together we help each other.  What a concept.  Did I mention it’s free?

 

***  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.

 

***  The position descriptions and or follow up information on links to the jobs can be found at www.nedsjotw.com.

 

***  Posting a job is free.    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.  Please limit the size of your position descriptions (generally to 500 words or less).  “Can’t Wait” blast email priority listings are $300, and “Top Job” placement is $100.  Just send to me at lundquist989@cs.com.

 

***  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.

 

Be advised that I am transitioning away from Topica and relocating the list with Google Groups.

 

***  To sign up for JOTW’s new Google Groups list, send an email to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com and request to join the new listerv.

***  This week’s Can’t Wait postings:

 

None this week.

 

Can’t Wait jobs:  These jobs are forwarded to the entire list as soon as they are received, and do not wait for the Monday newsletter, and are posted prominently on the JOTW website.  Then they are posted first in the weekly JOTW newsletter.  Can’t Wait postings cost $300.  Contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.

***  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.

I have 25+ years experience helping people find, and get, jobs.  I work personally with clients on strategy, Discovery Networking, resumes, cover letters, interview prep, and much more.  I’ve worked with all kinds of Comm, PR, Marketing, CEOs, a wide variety of clients.  I’ll be glad to critique anyones resume, no obligation.  Here’s an e-mail from a recent client:

 

“Larry, FYI, I had a great phn interview today. Mark M / COO and I hit it off quite well I thought and I parlayed it into a face to face with him on the 24th. He will be flying in from Ireland to interview a few different candidates. His words were he was putting a short list together for this and I had made the cut. So far so good. The more he talked the more I liked the sound of the job. It’s a entrepreneurial type role as they are trying to build their customer base in the southwest region. Intel is the big key here and exploiting this is pivotal for them. Anyway, all things considered it sounded like a perfect opportunity and the money was no issue at all to them. He told me he would not be playing games over 20-30 or 40K for the right guy. Spending a few extra $$ for the right guy would be insignificant in the grand scheme of things.  It “Feels” good so far. Gotta get psyched up and prepared for this interview on the 24th. I’m sure I should be doing something before then, tips on that?”
