Posted by Admin On 5/09/2013 0 comments

A temp position will open, effective next week, in the front office reception and executive assistance in the Georgia Tech Office of Government and Community Relations. It would be an excellent opportunity for recent HTS grads to gain working knowledge of government and community relations.

This position is temporary, and likely will last only eight-to-ten weeks as they work to fill that position. Of course, if the person who takes the temp position is interested in applying for the full time position, they are welcome to do so.
