IMPORTANCE NOTICE RE: JOB LISTINGS FROM BRAD TRAVERSE!! Part 1 of 2
�
Good News!� After 10 years of providing this service via e-mail, I am
finally moving the "Job Listings from Brad Traverse" to the world wide web!
Why is this good news?� Because...
1.� Rather than waiting for me to send the list to you on a weekly basis,
you will now be able to access the listings as they come in, at any
time.��Or, if you are not an active job seeker, you can check the listings
as the mood strikes, instead of having my emails fill up your
inbox.�������������������
2.� The listing has become overwhelming from an e-mail management standpoint
and, frankly, if I don't do something to make that side of it less time
consuming, the list would cease to exist -- and no one wants to see that
happen.�
The new website should be up and running next week, so
THIS IS THE LAST LISTING DELIVERED TO YOU VIA EMAIL
.� I'll send the link as soon as it's ready – hopefully, by Monday.� All job
leads should still be e-mailed to me directly ( mailto:
bradtraverse at yahoo.com). bradtraverse at yahoo.com
), as well as
any inquiries, comments, or recommendations for the site.� �
As good as the listings are now, I believe this more timely and
user-friendly�system will contribute markedly to the job seeking needs of
people in the D.C. metro area and nationwide.�� It has been exciting to see
the huge interest in these listings that has built up over the years and to
watch it become a top resource for folks seeking a job on Capitol Hill and
off the Hill in the fields of government relations and communications.�
In order to defray the cost of maintaining the site, there will now be a
nominal $5.00 monthly fee required to access the listings, with a one-time
registration fee of $10.00.� For government employees – those with an e-mail
address ending in ".gov" --� the registration fee will be waived.� Payment
will be accepted through the online payment service "Pay Pal" (
http://www.paypal.com/
www.paypal.com
)
, which also takes credit cards.
�
Thanks again, everyone, for your support, your assistance and your
friendship.�� I look forward to many more years of providing these listings
to you.� Happy hunting!�
Sincerely,
Brad Traverse

IMPORTANCE NOTICE RE: JOB LISTINGS FROM BRAD TRAVERSE!! Part 1 of 2
�
Good News!� After 10 years of providing this service via e-mail, I am finally moving the "Job Listings from Brad Traverse" to the world wide web!
Why is this good news?� Because...
1.� Rather than waiting for me to send the list to you on a weekly basis, you will now be able to access the listings as they come in, at any time.��Or, if you are not an active job seeker, you can check the listings as the mood strikes, instead of having my emails fill up your inbox.�������������������
2.� The listing has become overwhelming from an e-mail management standpoint and, frankly, if I don't do something to make that side of it less time consuming, the list would cease to exist -- and no one wants to see that happen.�
The new website should be up and running next week, so
THIS IS THE LAST LISTING DELIVERED TO YOU VIA EMAIL
.� I'll send the link as soon as it's ready – hopefully, by Monday.� All job leads should still be e-mailed to me directly ( mailto: mailto:bradtraverse at yahoo.com bradtraverse at yahoo.com
). mailto:bradtraverse at yahoo.com bradtraverse at yahoo.com
), as well as
any inquiries, comments, or recommendations for the site.� �
As good as the listings are now, I believe this more timely and user-friendly�system will contribute markedly to the job seeking needs of people in the D.C. metro area and nationwide.�� It has been exciting to see the huge interest in these listings that has built up over the years and to watch it become a top resource for folks seeking a job on Capitol Hill and off the Hill in the fields of government relations and communications.�
In order to defray the cost of maintaining the site, there will now be a nominal $5.00 monthly fee required to access the listings, with a one-time registration fee of $10.00.� For government employees – those with an e-mail address ending in ".gov" --� the registration fee will be waived.� Payment will be accepted through the online payment service "Pay Pal" (
http://www.paypal.com/ http://www.paypal.com/
http://www.paypal.com www.paypal.com
)
, which also takes credit cards.
�
Thanks again, everyone, for your support, your assistance and your friendship.�� I look forward to many more years of providing these listings to you.� Happy hunting!�
Sincerely,
Brad Traverse
