Here's my one-paragraph pitch for the newsletter. Thanks!
If you're looking for an enthusiastic, results-oriented entrepreneurial
project manager with a 10-year agency background who is accustomed to
developing for-profit and non-profit strategic campaigns aligned with
goals and objectives, I'd love to talk to you. With a Masters of
Science degree in Communications Management, a B.A. in Journalism, an
accreditation in public relations, 15 years of public relations and
marketing experience, I can do what I've always done best for you,
too.enhance reputation, train, create top-of-mind awareness that leads

achieve the goal. Research, writing, communication audits,
communication plan development and implementation, crisis communications
and media relations.my cup of tea.

Communications Job Blog Launched
I met Ned Lundquist at the last Society of New Communications event in
Boston in 2006. He has been running an employment email since 2001. He
has 10,000 subscribers. He recently launched his new companion blog. If
you work in the communications business, I'd subscribe to his email

My friend Ned Lundquist, who's been publishing the very popular Job of

a Web site, Ned's Job of the Week (www.nedsjotw.com). If you're a

*** Lost in translation:
Ned,
I thought I knew what you were opening the most recent JOTW with when
you wrote Kalai Vanakam, but I googled it to confirm. What did I find?
Turns out your Bengali phrase should have been kaalai vanakkam. Why do I
care? I have a running battle with one of my colleagues to say good
morning in as many different languages as possible…and this was a new
one! So thanks! And back atcha!
In case you care, you can actually find Kalai Vanakam on
IndianMatchmaker.com, where his hobbies and interests also are posted.

Do you know HR Managers, recruiters, and/or staffing firms in Sweden
looking for English speakers?
Happy New Year! My website www.JobsinStockholm.com helps English
speakers in Sweden find professional jobs. It launched on 23 November
2006 and now I am looking for clients who have a need for educated
English speakers to fill positions within their companies, or for their
clients.
How am I different than StepStone and Monster? I am focused solely on
English speakers in Sweden and serve a dynamic niche market which is
educated, experienced, and ready to work. Technology is used to enhance
the job seeker's experience, and I offer my clients results-based
pricing which is transparent and refreshing.
If you know of, or come across someone who fits this category (as well
as job seekers) please refer them to me at adrianne@jobsinstockholm.com
as well as directly to www.JobsinStockholm.com.
Here's to good health and success in 2007!
Take care,

*** From Brad Peniston:
Hi, Ned.
Good seeing you the other week. if it's not too late for this week's
JOTW, here's the info about my Jan. 19 book signing. Thanks!
Brad
Book signing. “No Higher Honor: Saving the USS Samuel B. Roberts in
the Persian Gulf” (Naval Institute Press, 2006) by Bradley Peniston.
Foreword by Adm. (ret.) William J. Crowe.
7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 19.
Borders Books, 6701 Frontier Dr., Springfield, VA 22150
(Near the Springfield Mall, just south of I-495.)
The book tells the story of the USS Samuel B. Roberts, a small U.S.
warship dispatched to the Persian Gulf in 1988. Well-led and well-
trained, its crew had a perilous mission: to safeguard oil tankers
through a combat zone that had turned them into targets. On 14 April, an
Iranian mine ripped open the Roberts' engineroom, ignited fires on four
decks, and plunged the ship into darkness. With seawater rising
around their boots, the crew fought fire and flooding into the night.
Four days later, the U.S. retaliated, sinking a half-dozen Iranian
warships and boats in the world's biggest surface battle since World
War II. (There's more at http://www.nohigherhonor.com.)
