Nathan,

I recommend expanding your LinkedIn profile and network. Reach out to Peter Charest formally with Bradley-Morris and now with Hire Purpose. He will be able to point you in the right direction.

Also, what are your specific interests...waste site characterization, remediation, environmental risk assessment, design?

Thanks - John

Thanks everyone for all the advice. I found a job with WeaverBoos. The Aerotek recruiting company found the job for me.
