The Lions' Pride

This is a pretty great idea. I actually work for two tiny companies. The group of us (4) are all Penn Staters and I cannot express to you enough how much it has helped me to have a comforting environment to go to work in everyday. In the fall when the news first hit I was in the complete opposite position. People could understand what I was going through and I felt alone.

Seriously...if I don't have an opening and a Penn Stater is coming out to my area (west coast), I will go out of my way to find you a job. If anyone needs an internship or job in Orange County PM me.

P.S. Any State College jobs open...I'll move my family of 5 out in 2 seconds!!!

Great thread idea. I'm moving back to Charleston, SC at the end of August. (CharlestonLion I fully intend to PM you soon) I'm a 2003 psu grad in crime, law, and justice. 2008 master of arts in elementary education from college of charleston. Anyone with any leads down that way, please let me know. Wouldn't HAVE to be in the field of education.

I actually think it would be a great idea if we were to create a separate jobs board. I can discuss it with Sean and Pat. This is a challenging time for a lot of folks, and there is enough professional influence in this community to make a difference.

Personally, I will be in a new position in roughly 10 days in which I will be responsible for all hiring in SEPA, NEMD, and DELMARVA for a large Investment Management Firm. These resources would be helpful in the fall.

I'm not a PSU alum, so this probably doesn't count. But with any luck, I'll be looking for an engineering job in about a year.

I'll be graduating the police academy in November doing consortiums and would love any help along the way.

I am a 2002 grad with a BA in communications. I am a practicing attorney in Nashville, TN. I work in healthcare law. I have been looking to move my family back to the East Coast. I have always wanted to work in sports and athletic compliance. I have tried ad naseum to hook on with many different organizations. I am still and always looking. If anyone could help me in anyway I would gladly pay it forward when given the opportunity. I am not opposed to practicing law in the Northeast, in November I will have reciprocity with almost all of the East Coast states. I can be reached at mbm165@yahoo.com if anyone would like to provide some leads for me. Appreciate it. WE ARE

I work as a recruiter for a major staffing firm. Anyone looking pm me and I'd be sure to take in resumes and see what I can do. I'm located in Pottsville.

I am also a recruiter. I focus on high end IT positions here in phoenix (we do work on some lower level positions. I'd love to help out fellow alums! I graduated in 05 with a degree in HPA (haven't used my degree once since graduation). I'd love to get back into non-profit work especially corporate donations.

Cool idea. We actually just hired a Penn State grad recently, and not because he is from my alma mater either. Very mature kid, just as qualified as any other candidate, and before he knew I was a Penn Stater myself, I asked him in his interview his thoughts on the situation and his answer was mature, respectful, and probably better than I ever could have expressed. Great kid, and we were thrilled to have him on board.

I am not solely in charge of hiring but I do interview candidates. Not hiring for the moment, but I will surely update everyone if we get a networking board rolling.

I was a Penn State IE, and tend to hire IEs to our engineering team, but anyone pursuing that type of field (more service system engineering than manufacturing) is welcome to send a resume that I can keep on file.

We Are!!!

What about non PSU grads that are just huge PSU fans. I would give anything to relocate back to the PA area and my new job that I started in February is not working out. Independent outside sales rep for a medical device (test equipment) company. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
