Students and Young Professionals: want some help with your career in water resources? Download the free January 2017 Water Resources IMPACT, 'Careers in Water Resources'. Josh has a great article there: "Strategies for Tackling the 21st Century Job Search".
From Josh:
Small update: Lots going on this week, including a record-breaking week for number of jobs (152). As many of you will remember, we did a survey back in September to get some feedback about the website. While there were no major suggested changes that came out of the survey, there were a few smaller ones that we are finally getting around to. The first is that, if you happen to notice, there is an “Upcoming Deadlines” short list on the right-hand side of the homepage. More than a few folks said that having those jobs be on the very same day was too short notice, so we’ve made those jobs (1) three days out and (2) limit them to three days’ worth of jobs, so it’s more manageable. Another update coming next week.
You can check out Josh's website for all the jobs. His jobs are on Facebook, too.
I will list the jobs I posted last week that are still open, any new ones and my usual general employment resources sites.
Here are Josh's 14 February 2017 jobs online.
