Philly Fed Jobs
Wimp, Marilyn
Good evening,
We have two job openings at the Fed. We are in need of an editor – it is the position that has been open for several months.
The second opening is a paid internship in media relations for college students or recent college grads – if you know of anyone with college age students, please encourage them to apply. I have been looking through resumes tonight (hey it’s great preparation for our workshops) so I thought I’d write.
Descriptions are below.
Regards,
Marilyn
