TechAlliance is hiring!

Hi everyone, so in case you haven’t heard TechAlliance has received a bit of cash flow so we are doing some hiring (which is nice becuase I wouldn’t be so much of a fan of down sizing :p)   

Here’s a brief overview of a job some of you would be interested in:
Coordinator, Educational Outreach, TechAlliance of
Southwestern Ontario

The Coordinator, Educational Outreach, is responsible for coordinating TechAlliance’s elementary and high school education and outreach programs, including but not exclusive to, the Sanofi Aventis Biotech Challenge (SABC): London Region, the BIOlympics and other education-related Biotech Week activities, and outreach to teachers, guidance counselors, principals, science coordinators and the local media, in an effort to promote educational and extracurricular activities and opportunities, and generally, careers in the sciences in London. Let me know if you need more info (you can also find it on www.techalliance.ca in careers) and if you are sending in your submission email Lindsay Sage (though it’s still lindsay.zajac@techalliance.ca)

If you need the inside scoop on this job let me know (laura.ling@techalliance.ca)! Hopefully I will get to work with a fellow CCPR’er soon.

Cheers,

Laura

Update

Hey everyone,

Just thought I’d give everyone a little update on me. I found out today that I’ve been hired full-time at Deb’s office, which is exactly what we all want to hear right now! This means a salary, and benefits, vacation… Oh my! lol

The best part about the job is that Deb wants me working more on communications and campaign stuff, which is perfect for getting the experience I need. I’m going to be working with some of the communicators who spoke to our class last year, which is a great opportunity and (though I hate to think about the future on the first day of a “new” job), those connections are what will get me places in the future. I think I’ll be working my butt off, but that’s what us new grads do right?

Anyway, just wanted to share my good news. I hope everything is going well with all of you!

Rachel xoxo

Volunteer Opportunity

Does this have anything to do with CC or PR? Nope not at all! But it does have to do with Jesse’s Journey and I know that alllllll of you are missing your daily Jesse’s Journey updates!

So here’s the deal. I am in charge of yet another event. Again, it is a classic car show called Super Cruise (www.supercruise.ca). It’s taking place on Friday, September 15 and Saturday, September 16. Jobs are things like helping with parking, directing traffic, registration of show cars, working the charity BBQ, that sort of stuff.

I need a million and a half volunteers, so if anyone can spare about 4 hours on either the Friday or the Saturday, and wants to see a bunch of sweet classic cars, let me know!

So, as you can tell by the fact that I’m STILL talking about Jesse’s Journey…nothing is new with me lol

More Jobs in TO – Really Long, Lots of Words, so skim!

Hey gang, more Toronto jobs from craigslist. These are the best jobs from the past week – the first one would be kinda cool for someone looking for a mini-adventure.

None of them say anything about experience beyond what I know all of you already have.

Enjoy!

Movin’ On Up

Hello all!

I just wanted to fill you in on a few things…

I will be moving at the end of the month to a new place. But don’t cry yet! I’m only moving over to Colborne.
My new contact information, as of September 1, 2006 will be:
340 Colborne Street – Apt. 705
London N6B 3N1
It will be a nice change from where I am now (and where I’ve been for the past three years) and it’s much closer to work.

My other news is that I finally left Players after trying to juggle both jobs. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be but I did need some time to myself.

That’s it for now but please keep in touch and feel free to contact me any time to get together.

Article in IABC’s ‘Connect’

The following article is found on the IABC London site under the ‘Connect’ link.

Thanks for the CCPR publicity Dana.   

Happy reading all!

Hats off to busy Fanshawe CC&PR grads

By Dana Morningstar

Director, Career Services

2005-2006 was a successful year for the students and graduates of Corporate Communication and Public Relations in their relationships with IABC London and the community. Eight graduates have signed up as new IABC London members.

The Fanshawe 2005-06 PR students started their relationship with IABC in late September by attending a three-day conference organized by London International Association of Business Communicators. The theme of Supersized Events included speed-networking and seminars on communicating the 2006 Superbowl, the Stratford Festival, Oktoberfest, and locally, the Western Mustangs. Participants came from London, Michigan, Toronto and Kitchener and the CC&PR class. This event was submitted to the Virtuoso Awards by Keith Brooks, Canada Revenue Agency, and incoming President of IABC and Maureen Spencer Golevchenko, City of London, past-president IABC. Keith and Maureen were Co-Chairs of the Great Lakes Conference.

In November and December, the class helped the Children’s Aid Society with their annual recognition event at the convention centre and their gift drive for teens with London IABC. The class organized the annual IABC Christmas lunch and CAS gift drive collecting more than 50 gifts, exceeding the luncheon attendance targets, and giving a donation to Jesse’s Journey’s John Davidson who spoke at the event.

November also saw the class partner with London Techalliance to produce marketing pieces and presentations for six Techalliance partners: Knighthunter.com, CoreSolutions, IES, mh new media, Fanshawe Student Portal and Fanshawe Web re-design. IABC participated in judging the student presentations.

The winter semester saw 37 students on field placements around the city including at IABC member employers and, under the guidance of Professor Bob Riches, six student groups partnered with outside agencies to create crisis communication plans.

Students in Professor Sandra King Webster’s class arranged their own field trip to Toronto visiting Hill and Knowlton with CC&PR graduates Lisa Naccarato (‘00) and Jennifer Koster (‘97). The trip finished with a tour of City TV and a session with their communications person.

To date five graduates have full- time career related employment and 10 have part-time work and/or contracts in communications. Employers include not-for-profits, web design firms, agencies, an MPP, Western, Fanshawe, a national telcom firm etc. Over the summer we anticipate more employment news.

Graduates of the program Jeff Sage, Asst. Marketing Manager, Fanshawe College and Lindsay Zajac, Member Services, Techalliance have been in the news recently for co-chairing the Emerging Leaders initiative. The Emerging Leaders program seeks to link young Londoners from all sectors in order to promote networking, retention and strategic alliances. The Emerging Leaders website at http://www.emergingleaders.ca/ outlines the emerging leaders as a “collective of like-minded 22-44’s who believe that London, Ontario, can be among North America’s top ranked 21st century cities, in terms of both economic prosperity and quality of life, and intend to share ideas, experiences and action-oriented dialogue, with each other and current leaders, to help it get there … and to have a little fun and shake things up in the process!”

There have been two sold-out Emerging Leaders events in April and May and three more meetings planned for September, November and March 2007. Lindsay and Jeff are featured in June’s Business London Magazine and written by Fanshawe professor Otte Rosenkrantz.

Laura Ling won the London Life/IABC Award of Excellence and Cara Carson won the London Life/IABC Leadership Award. The awards will be presented at the June 22 Virtuoso event.

With applications exceeding 200, the class of 2006-2007 should easily reach the projected enrolment target of 42 students. London IABC members might be interested to know that most applications received for the program originate from outside London by a 7-1 margin. Currently, 10 applications are from International applicants.

For further information on the Fanshawe Corporate Communication and Public Relations Program, please contact Program Coordinator, Dana Morningstar, M.Ed. at 519.452.4430 x4552 or at dmorningstar@fanshawec.ca.

Another Toronto Job Opportunity

This one is actually right up our alley! No experience required, but I bet it would help. It’s a great chance to get your foot in the door. Many agencies hire people as receptionists first to get a feel for them and then promote from within. Also, I happen to live at Yonge-St. Clair, so I could see if there’s more information about them for those interested.
