San Antonio Internship - Due Mar 5 (tomorrow)

Hello everyone,

All of us over here at Solid Waste Management enjoyed visiting with you.  As I mentioned during our discussion, we offer a paid summer internship working in the department’s Planning and Strategy division.  This is a great opportunity to become familiar with environmental policy at the local government level.  Additionally, the City of San Antonio conducts its annual budgeting process over the summer which allows you to see firsthand how all of the mind-numbing lectures in public finance actually have practical relevance in government.

The internship requires potential candidates to have a working knowledge of quantitative analysis and statistical testing.  You’ll be given two to three projects in which you’ll be required to gather relevant field/policy data, analyze it, create policy options, and present recommendations to city administrators. 

If you’re interested in the internship, please complete the attached excel test and email it to me at matthew.hobson@sanantonio.gov by no later than 5pm, Wednesday, March 5, 2014.  This exercise is designed to test your ability to sort, filter, and manipulate data in Microsoft Excel as well as your knowledge of descriptive statistics.  As such, please remember to show your work.  Your responses should be clearly labeled, organized, and include any relevant backup analysis.

Based on the results of the exercise, I will contact you individually for a phone interview with our team.

Best,

Matthew Hobson
