Cataloger, Reference Librarian
As a graduate of the UNCG Library and Information Studies Program (class of 2003), I always enjoy having the opportunity to reach out to my alma mater with possible job opportunities for fellow librarians! As I’m sure you are aware, BAE Systems successfully recruited a number of librarians from the 2003 and 2004 graduating class, myself included, who were put in for clearances with the Federal Government and are now working in many exciting positions throughout the Washington, DC metro area!
We have another exciting opportunity with the Federal Government for which we will be able to sponsor a few candidates (of all experience levels) for clearances and place them in positions here in the DC metro area, and some possible opportunities in St. Louis, MO. These positions have a geospatial focus, and are cataloging and reference positions. I have included job descriptions below.
If you have any interested candidates, please have them send their resumes to Ellen Bernard (Ellen.Bernard@baesystems.com) and/or Jessica Gilchrist (Jessica.Gilchrist@baesystems.com). If we are able to identify enough candidates, I hope to schedule a time in early December to come down and provide an informal informational session and conduct interviews. Please let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, we hope to hear back from you soon!
