Student Interns must be able to coordinate multiple documents for analysis on multiple bases from over a decade of records and review them to ensure that they are appropriately cataloged on the military’s website. They must be professional, reliable, and confidential, and able to carry out tasks with little to no supervision. This student staff position is 15-20 hours/week (up to 40hr/week in the summer) and starts at $12.77/hour.

Ensuring exceptional customer service for our clients and meeting military requirements is of utmost importance. Additionally, you will maintain a detailed record of your reviewed records, as well as task completion.
