Geographers and Sustainers,

I’ve been contacted by a recruiter looking to fill several full-time junior positions at ORNL. The ideal candidate would have completed 311, 411, remote sensing, and Python. They are hoping to start interviews next week. If you fit at least 3 of those 4 criteria and want to be considered for these positions, please send me the following:

• An email sent to me with the subject line “ORNL Position”
• Inside the email include the following “I, your name, give you permission to pass my contact information and CV/Resume to a recruiter for potential employment at ORNL”
• Inside this email include your preferred email address and phone number
• Attached to the email include your most up-to-date resume or CV (be sure to follow alumni Danielle Dami’s recommendations on focusing on skills and experiences rather than just listing classes. This is an excellent opportunity to highlight your research projects like SEDAAG, AAG, TNGIC, EURECA, etc as well as class projects, projects from previous internships, etc).
• Direct quote from Danielle “Best advice I have for students looking for jobs, treat your education as a job. Never just list the classes you have taken, instead list the class as if it was a job and add a description. We work on a lot of projects in the department that are perfect to showcase. For instance, instead of just saying you took Intro to GIS and Remote Sensing, list the final project that you worked on in those classes and include bullets about what you did. I know how intensive the course work is but I’m not always going to be the person who sees the resume and know what that class entails. We get too many resumes that have all this other experience and then lists their courses. Sell your GIS skills if you want a GIS job. ”

 

Send me your information no later than noon on Saturday (May 11) so that I can pass it along. After that I’ll be out of the office for 2 weeks and won’t be checking my email.

 

Good luck,
