An opportunity for a senior or recent graduate in what looks like a great career opportunity. Thanks to PG Alum Nick Lowe '02 for passing this on:
I am a 2002 graduate of the P&G and BPA departments and am hoping that with graduation nearing you might be able to help in my search to hire junior staff to support our operations in the Los Angeles area. I’ve posted information to the ASK network, but that has not led anywhere. I would love to offer a UPS graduate a career opportunity if any of them are interested in the Los Angeles area. My need is immediate, so I will not be able to hold positions for UPS applicants if they don’t get back to me immediately.
Currently I am looking to hire 1 or 2 staff, but am always open to considering great candidates. I am primarily in search of recent graduates or individuals soon to graduate (at the undergraduate level) that have an interest in emergency management or homeland security lines of work. A degree in a directly related field is not required, but a passion for the subject matter is. My Los Angeles offices are in Sherman Oaks (where my most critical need is), but we will also entertain positions in our San Francisco and Fairfax, VA offices if the candidate is right. I would greatly appreciate it if you could circulate this email or my contact information to those students that you feel represent your brightest and most ambitious. Please encourage them to first review ICF International’s website at www.icfi.com where they can find specific information on our lines of business, clients, and projects. Please have interested candidates email me directly (nlowe@icfi.com) with a cover letter, resume, and writing sample. Below I have included some brief prerequisite statements for their reference.
I sincerely appreciate any assistance you can provide in reaching out to qualified candidates.
Regards,
Nick Lowe
