The Free Job of the Week Newsletter

www.nedsjotw.com

This is JOTW newsletter number 1,873

 

“If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is ‘the quiet acceptance of what is.'”

– Wayne Dyer

 

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

 

***  Welcome to the JOTW network!

 

You are one of more than 5,900 members in the JOTW subscriber 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?

 

***  This month begins with an N!

 

Every month that begins with an N is “Ned’s JOTW New Member Month.”  And that makes this… “Ned-Vember!”  I’m asking each of you to reach out to your network of communicators and do a little directed “ned-working,” to encourage your colleagues to sign up for the free Job of the Week newsletter.    Just have them send me an email at lundquist989@cs.com asking to join the network.

 

 

***  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.

 

***  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.

 

***  To sign up for JOTW’s new Google Groups list, send an email to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com and request to join the JOTW listserv.  If you received this as an email from neds-job-of-the-week@googlegroups.com, then you are on this list.

 

***  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.

 

***  This week’s Top Job:

 

None this week.

 

Top Jobs:  Stand above the rest.  Your job can be right here, at the top of the weekly JOTW newsletter.  Top job placement costs $100 per job per week.  To be on top, contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.

 

***  If you find out about a job opportunity in communications, send it to me (lundquist989@cs.com),   and I’ll share it with the JOTW network.

 

***  Here’s the link for the JOTW newsletter on the website:

 

http://www.nedsjotw.com/2020/11/16/jotw-46-2020/

 

***  One Paragraph Pitch:

 

None this week.

 

***  Send your One Paragraph Pitch submissions to lundquist989@cs.com.   You can pitch yourself or your business anyway you want, as long as it’s short and to the point.  You can include a photo, too! There is no waiting list.  And it’s free!  Submit yours today!

158-20   11.11.2020: 0100 UTC: Posn: 05:12N – 002:35E, Around 70nm South of Cotonou, Benin.

Around eight armed pirates in a skiff chased and attempted to board a product tanker underway. Master raised the alarm, increased speed, took evasive manoeuvres and activated the distress alert. As the skiff closed it opened fire towards the bridge and accommodation. A Nigerian Navy patrol boat responded to the distress alert. Due to the hardening measures taken by the Master, the skiff aborted the attack. The patrol boat rendezvoused with the tanker and escorted her to a safe port. Some bridge and accommodation damage was reported due to the firing.

 

157-20   09.11.2020: 2028 UTC: Posn: 04:45.42N – 002:26.83E, Around 95nm South of Cotonou, Benin.

A product tanker underway was approached by two skiffs. Alarm raised and all non-essential crew mustered in the citadel. The Master increased speed, commenced evasive manoeuvres, activated the fire pump and notified the Regional Authorities. The skiffs attempted to close in and fired upon the vessel. The vessel’s hardening and evasive manoeuvres resulted in the skiff aborting the attack and moving away. Vessel and crew reported safe.

 

156-20   07.11.2020: 0615 UTC: Posn: 03:31N – 002:34E, Around 172nm South of Cotonou, Benin.

Pirates armed with rifles boarded a product tanker underway. Alarm raised, main engine stopped, SSAS activated, CSO informed and all crew mustered in the citadel. Benin Navy dispatched a patrol boat. An Italian Navy frigate and its helicopter responded. A naval boarding team boarded the tanker and once clearance was given, the crew emerged from the citadel and regained control of the tanker. All crew members are reported safe.

 

155-20   07.11.2020: 1620 UTC: Posn: 03:35.9N – 004:36.3E, Around 87nm SW of Bayelsa, Nigeria.

Seven armed pirates in a boat chased a product tanker underway. Alarm raised, crew mustered in citadel, and activated the fire pump.
