I have a job opening that I need to fill in the next few weeks. It is a 6 month position with American Hiking Society based in Chattanooga, TN. This is a perfect position for anyone who just graduated from college and is looking for a unique experience. Interviews are underway, so please don't delay. Preferably I'd like all interviews to be conducted by the end of next week - June 11. Sorry for the short notice. Funding for the position was just approved. The first week on the job will be spent helping to build the Cumberland Trail at the Big Dig.
