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
