I write about it in the book, but one of the best, yet least high-tech resources to find communications and social media jobs is “Ned’s Job of the Week,” a “free email networking newsletter for professional communicators started way back at the beginning of the 21st century and attracted a cult following of more than 10,000 readers.”
I get Ned’s email every Monday morning, so from time to time, I’ll cull social media job openings from Ned’s list and post them here.
