Any Job Leads for New Orleans Evacuee Rachel Burton?

Hello friends and networkers!

A friend of mine from college Rachel Burton is on the hunt for a job. She and her German Shepherd Lizzy are evacuees from New Orleans, and they'll be relocating to Northwest Arkansas and living at my house. I'm trying to help her find a job that capitalizes on her strong language skills, interest in international programming, organization skills and gregarious personality. I've included her resume as inline text as well as attached the Word document.

Please forward her information to your respective distribution lists and to anyone else who might benefit from her skill set. I would sincerely appreciate your assistance. You can e-mail me for the Word doc.

Graciously,
Jeannette
