Welcome to the free Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for
professional communicators. JOTW is a cooperative service that 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.
First of all, it doesn't cost you a cent. How does it work? 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. It's
that simple. And we share dozens of opportunities each week. Did I
mention it was free? Your friends can sign up by sending a blank e-mail to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com. It's free for them, too.
Send this copy of JOTW to a fellow communicator and urge them to get their own subscription by sending a blank e-mail to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.
I had a busy travel week last week (DCA/CAE/CHS/CLT/ORF/CLT/DCA), so your newsletter may be a little shorter than usual as I didn’t have much time or connectivity to work on JOTW.
I never give out, rent, or sell my list, and neither does Topica.

To answer your Question for the Network about temporary/semipermanent PR positions, I wanted to suggest taking a look at the Brookwoods Group (http://www.brookwoods.com/). I've never used or worked for them, but the company was suggested to me by a friend the last time I was looking for a job.

*** Scouting for Food:
Tom, Barbara and I helped sort food at ECHO (Ecumenical Community Helping Others) this Saturday as part of Scouting for Food. Scouts collected 21,296 pounds of food to be shared with those who most need it in our Springfield community.
We sorted the food, so canned food went to one room for further sorting, and everything else to another room. Most food was what you would expect: cans of vegetables and soups; boxes of pasta and jars of sauce. Once in a while you get something clearly old (past expiration date), or something like a jar of homemade pickles that cannot be given to a family. Last year I got a bag of flower bulbs and some potting soil. This year I opened a bag to find a dirty diaper.
According to Pat Gauthier, ECHO’s director, the donations couldn’t have come at a better time. The supply on hand is very low, and demand is up. “The food is going out faster. We may have to cut back on the amount of food we give to people who come in,” she says. “All the food banks find themselves in the same situation.”
The number of people who have lost their homes due to foreclosures is very high, and many people who have been employed in the building trades are affected by a lack of housing starts. Lower wage workers are being eliminated at many companies.
ECHO serves the Springfield, Virginia community, and is supported by 26religeous congregations. There are no paid staff. “We’re 100% volunteer. We have the lowest overhead in the Combined Federal campaign of the United Way. All we pay for is electricity, water and heat.”
Gauthier says “generosity is down.” She believes that businesses and individuals may be less able to afford top contribute, and she also says many of the people who live in the Springfield area are not familiar with the American tradition of charitable giving.
Gauthier hopes people will contribute and volunteer to help food banks everywhere, especially during the holidays when demand is high. For information how you can help ECHO or a food bank in your community, or if you just want to thank the volunteers at ECHO for helping others, you can contact Pat Gauthier at jogauthier@cox.net.
*** From Shari Spiewak:
The Unanticipated and Immeasurable Results of Networking
You never know. In three words, that’s what attendees learned at “The Art of Ned-working” at the Nov. 8 dinner meeting of IABC Charlotte. Featured speaker Ned Lundquist used personal anecdotes and common-sense advice to drive home the point that you never know when networking will reap benefits. Joining an association, attending a professional event, or simply extending a hand and introducing yourself to someone launches an instant relationship that could someday lead to positive, unanticipated consequences. Ned shared an example of how one “nice-to-meet-you” meeting led to a million-dollar business agreement. He also told how simply being in IABC helped him locate a jet propulsion expert to answer his son’s questions about outer space. And, networking once gave him the opportunity to interview for a job he didn’t want – just to give him the integrity-boosting opportunity to decline the offer.
Other lessons learned at the “Ned-working” event included: Volunteer for everything you can; it will always pay you back. If you’re looking for work, make sure people know it; they can’t refer you if they don’t know you’re available. And don’t stop networking once you find work; any new connection could somehow wind up changing your life. You never know.
(Could you share for us a little bit about your networking trip to Charlotte? Why and how you planned it around the IABC meeting?)
I would like to relocate to Charlotte, so I planned a networking trip to meet with some established professionals in the communications/PR industry who work for or with sports organizations. I chose last week to schedule my trip because IABC was holding a networking event on the evening of Nov. 8 — a perfect opportunity to meet people in my profession. Being a member of another IABC chapter, I was very comfortable with attending the Charlotte chapter's event. So I set up three days of networking interviews surrounding this event, and came away with a large new group of contacts and many referrals to other possible contacts. All in all, it was a very successful and enjoyable trip

Hello, Captain –
I hope all is well with you. I wanted to let you know that our 2008 internship info is now online at: http://www.spj.org/i-archibald.asp for the Archibald Communications Internship and http://www.spj.org/i-pullkilgore.asp for the Pulliam/Kilgore Freedom of Information internships. We’ve started promotion earlier this year in hopes of getting a lot of strong candidates. Please note that both opportunities receive a $400 per week stipend. I know this isn’t a lot for out of state students, but what SPJ lacks in money, we more than make up for in experience and professional contacts. The deadline for consideration is January 5, 2008. We figured it was better to give students time to complete their packages over the holidays without the added stress of classes. I would appreciate it if you would run something in JOTW.
Let me know if you have any questions.

25.) PR Account Director, The Hoffman Agency, San Jose, CA
Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference?
Do you prefer implementing PR campaigns instead of absorbing mind-numbing spreadsheets?
The Hoffman Agency is seeking an account director with eight to 12 years of experience (including some agency background managing large accounts—particularly in the software enterprise or semiconductor space). The person must be results-driven and thrive on contributing to the success of others.
In this era when virtually anyone can evolve into a target influencer, we’re looking for an individual who’s not afraid to deviate from the norm. This means implementing creative approaches to establishing a client’s brand in both the traditional world and online. It also means capitalizing on tools ranging from video to social media as well as the printed page.
As one of the few independent PR agencies with global infrastructure, The Hoffman Agency believes effective PR in the technology realm comes down to “making connections.” Of course, creating true teamwork takes on greater complexity in a global environment. Toward this end, we've implemented what’s called a “building bridges” program and other activities designed to tune Agency staff members for global programming. Such a global mentality is part of our DNA and definitely makes a difference for our employees and ultimately enables our clients to “make connections” around the world.
