Compensation Analyst - Bosie, ID - DUE JAN 31

From an MPA Alumnus:

Dear Colleagues,

If you know someone looking for a great job in local government, please keep reading.

There is a Compensation Analyst position open with the City of Boise. The listed salary range is $58k to $68k. You can find the full job description here: http://agency.governmentjobs.com/boiseid/default.cfm . The application deadline is January 31, 2014.

I have worked in the Comp Analyst role for just over a year and it has been a great fit for me. The City of Boise operates 12 departments and employs roughly 1,600 full-time personnel. The hiring manager for this recruitment is specifically looking for candidates with analytical and Excel skills, so don't be intimidated by the HR specific questions and requirements. If you have a strong analytical aptitude, if you know Excel pivot tables and how to work with functions like "VLOOKUP", then I recommend applying for the position.

The Comp Analyst position has opened opportunities for me to work with department directors and the city's top senior managers. These interactions have opened a new opportunity as the City's Planning and Development Services Financial Manager. I will promote to that position in February, and that is why the City is looking for a new Comp Analyst.

If any of you have follow-up questions, please send them my way. This is a great job opportunity, and I hope this announcement reaches the right group of people.

Sincerely,

Biff Jones

EPA - Washington, DC - Due Mar 1

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Office of Policy

Office of Strategic Environmental Management

Washington, D.C.

SUMMARY

Office: Office of Policy’s Office of Strategic Environmental Management

Positions: Multiple

Location: Washington, DC (Federal Triangle Metro stop)

Salary: unpaid (transit subsidy provided for local transportation)

Projects: TBD but will be in the realm of program evaluation, sustainability and/or high level meeting logistics

Application Deadline: March 1, 2014

Other requirements: Must be a continuing student and enrolled in school for the semester following the internship.

Note: We are not the only office in EPA who recruits summer interns. Every office is different. If you are interested in a different part of EPA, please consult the main EPA web site.

BACKGROUND 

The Office of Strategic Environmental Management (OSEM), situated in EPA’s Office of Policy, helps EPA and others make the strategic policy and governance changes necessary to meet the Agency’s goals now and in the future.  For more information on OSEM please look at the following website: http://epa.gov/osem/.

We are currently seeking motivated, energetic and creative summer interns[1] to work on innovative approaches to environmental policy.  Workforce diversity is integral to the effectiveness with which EPA carries out its mission.  Diversity applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for internships.

Available projects will be determined prior to the beginning of the interview process and a project list will be distributed at the time of the interviews. Potential projects are determined based on the immediate needs of the office in early spring. A general description of the positions follows.

POSITION

OSEM is looking to bring on summer interns (both graduate and undergraduate U.S. citizens).  The internship will involve substantial involvement with one or more projects; each designed to provide the student with the opportunity to collaborate with staff in the office to provide experience in working on an environmental issue or policy.  Interns are expected to be engaged in substantive work while at EPA, and may be called on to perform some administrative duties as necessary (no more than a regular employee, though). 

Summer interns are expected to participate in the OSEM Summer Intern Program.  The program involves multiple activities and meetings above and beyond the regular projects. Interns receive mentors within the office as well as the opportunity to network with others throughout the Agency. Weekly talks will introduce other areas of the agency while field trips will involve visits to EPA- and/or DC-centric locations. Examples of past field trips include an early summer retreat to work on habitat restoration at the Chesapeake Bay, Congressional hearings, meetings with Senators and Representatives on Capitol Hill and behind-the-scenes visits to the Smithsonian. Summer interns are also required to present their summer research to EPA staff at the culmination of their internship. 

Examples of past Internship projects include:

(1)   An article for a leading industry publication on sustainable manufacturing

(2)   Coordination of the annual Environmental Evaluators’ Forum

(3)   Research and policy support for various ongoing green workforce development policy efforts

(4)   Developing tools and resources to support EPA’s climate adaptation work

(5)   Analysis of various rules and regulations and their impacts on effective environmental management

Projects are based on the current needs of the office and will be determined prior to selection. Successful candidates will be interviewed by both the intern coordinator and the project leads. Candidates may be interviewed for multiple projects, depending upon qualifications and interest level.

REQUIREMENTS

Prospective interns should meet the following requirements:

·   Interns must have strong writing and research skills.

·   Students must be full- or part-time students enrolled in either a 2-year or a 4-year degree program in an accredited institution of higher learning, or in a graduate degree program.

·   Interns must be available to work 10-12 weeks. 

BENEFITS

Due to budget constraints, we are unable to offer any financial compensation to interns. However, in the past, many students have been able to make arrangements with their universities to receive class credit and/or a stipend. We are willing to work with individuals to tailor their internship to meet any special requirements stipulated by their schools. We provide transit subsidies to cover up to $125/month in travel costs to and from the office each day.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS & DEADLINES

Individuals wishing to be considered should email the following application materials to reed.chris@epa.gov:

1.   cover letter

2.   resume

3.   3-5 page writing sample (DO NOT send more than 5 pages) – the topic is of your discretion
