I wanted to write you tell you a little
about what I am doing at the current time. I used
this past entire summer after graduation to find a
job. I wanted to get into the waste management
business, and I did... By the way, while interviewing
for jobs, I referenced the research page with my
senior research on it, and most everyone was
impressed, Thank you for setting that up, it did help!
I am working for a world-wide scale company in
Brecksville, Ohio, just south of Cleveland, Ohio. The
company name is The IT Group Corporation. They have a
web page: www.theitgroup.com Anyways, I am working
on landfills in the north eastern and north central
parts of Ohio. I work particularly on Landfill Gas
Collection and Extraction Systems. I am a Landfill
Engineer Technician and I work on the systems that
collect/extract the LFG (landfill gas) from the
landfill and burn it off at a high temperature flare.
Our company also sells the gas to area businesses for
use, however, only on the larger closed landfills, and
none of mine, yet. I also do maintenance on the
systems and help with other aspects and projects of
the landfilling business. Our company also does work
in landfill planning, design, engineering, and yes,
site planning and investigation. I am hoping that
with some hard work and some good career planning, I
can get myself into a position like that. Oh, and by
the way, almost everyone that I work with or that I
would like to work with, is a Geologist!!! I feel
like I can fit in a little with my background, thanks
to yourself and Dr. Kovach. Oh well, I just wanted to
write you. I hope that everything is going well for
you, and I wish you the best for this school year.
Take care, and I will stay intouch.
