On the Hunt!

Good afternoon! I recently received my NOMC and employment through my state has fizzled out due to COVID. I know I am not the only one effected by this pesky virus, however if you know of any employment opportunities within a state agency or private agency, I?d be appreciative if you could pass them along to me. I am keeping my options open and looking into other avenues, but right now I just want to work. I hope you all are staying healthy and safe! Respectfully, Nickie Pearl 502-489-4457 njp at twc.com
