".... and that's how I met Chris Hansen"

We'll start your job-seek week with a reminder about the Partnership for Public Service Eighth Annual Public Service Career and Internship FairWednesday, July 14 – 3:00-7:00 p.m. – National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.

Given the fact that agencies are primarily recruiting for entry-level jobs and internships, the target audience for this event is students, both graduate and undergraduate, recent graduates, and professionals with fewer than five years of experience. The positions agencies will be looking to fill include special agents, engineers, program analysts, financial specialists, environmental scientists, IT specialists, economists, contract specialists and more.
