Title: After 10 years.... Finally I might be in consideration for a Meteorology job!
Post by: ndinminot on July 08, 2009, 05:07:44 PM

For those of you who know. I had graduated with a degree in Atmospheric Science from Ohio State in 1999. i went thru a lot of personal things, setbacks and delays, the likes of which I wont expound upon here.

Any ways I went to USAJobs.com and found a few "intern" (startup) vacancies for a Metorologist. Three positions, one in Jackson KY, one in Springfield MO and another in Duluth MN. I am excited becasue for the first time in nearly 10 years, I will be doing something in my field and actually feel good about myself  B)

I sumbitted all necessary paperwork, and I verified that it was submitted, all I am doing right now is waiting for a response. Wish me luck, I am going to need it. In as little as 6 weeks I might be living outside Ohio! woohoo! I am looking forward to it!  :yes:

Good luck, Chuck!  I know that it's not easy as I've been trying to get a job over the past several months.  Ironically, I also applied for one of the vacancies you mentioned, but you and I aren't applying for the same openings everywhere thankfully.  I'm hoping that both you and I get hired soon. :thumbsup:

Congratulations! :D
  I am starting my meteorology studies this fall, and cannot wait!

Are you looking for a job as a broadcast meteorologist, or more National Weather Service work?

More National Weather Service.... three vacancies are in Springfield MO, Jackson KY and Duluth MN.. working with the AWIPS system and producing the forecasts, narration on NOAA weather radio and  stuff like that.
I have gone through so much stuff over the past 10 years or, living my life for other people and putting my career off.... its about bloody time I did something for myself, for my maturity, peace of mind, etc.... so I am really looking forward to getting one of these positions
since these positions are intern positions, and i have no experience, I believe that I can gain a lot of it by working there, also a huge boost for my resume (which is bare).
