Hey Lori and greeting Garrett!

That would be awesome.

Normally I post multiple announcements per listserv message.  The ideal announcement would contain the basic info about the position, the organization, dates of the opportunity, if paid how much, when the position is available, how to apply and when.  If there is url to a more detailed job posting, include that so interested students can find out more and then apply if interested.  You can also include a detailed job announcement in a pdf format that I can attach to the listserv message.

My counterpart for these kinds of posting would be Amanda Asquith-Caya and she can be reached at aasq...@ucsb.edu

I look forward to receiving the announcements!

Cheers,
Eric

Awesome! Thanks, Eric!

 

For our County Sustainability Division, we have two Civic Spark positions for which the application period closes the end of June and one FTE position that will open mid-June. Our team can get you descriptions/materials next week or so. For the listserv do you attach PDF’s or do we need to host our PDF somewhere if I want to include a flyer for CivicSpark?

 

Do you know of your counterpart at Bren? I’d like to share to those grads too….

 

Thanks for all you do,

 

Lori

Hi Lori,

I am.  Even easier, I still control email listserv use to promote such opportunities to our students, soon to be graduates, and alumni who wish to remain subscribed. 

We can wither setup a time to chat or you can just forward your intern, part-time, and full-time jobs my way and I will copy and past them on my next outgoing listserv message.  I normally send out two a week.

You can schedule a Zoom meeting with me at:  https://tinyurl.com/8nrcckds

Cheers,
