CSI: Rockville

Kyla's been actively looking for a job while she's going to GW. She's looked at dog walker, lab slave, and tutoring jobs. Before she left, she saw a posting on a GW message board for a job at the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL). The job description seemed like it was written with her in mind: part time, flexible hours, undergrad in Biology or natural science, lab background, etc. AFDIL is apparently the place to get work experience in her field. She sent in a resume and letter and commenced biting her nails. Then it turned out that one of her classes was taught out there. (Even weirder, after she takes the subway and bus to get there, she gets off the bus right across from Westat, Dick Beatty's old company.) She was a bit bummed at the thought of increased competition when her prof displayed the job posting to the entire class the first day! She poked around and found a lab slave job at GW, but she really wanted this one to come through. Last week she interviewed there, and today she heard they will offer her the position. Congratulations, Kyla!!!

Congratulations Kyla! Sounds like a great job, You are quickly becoming a beltway insider, home in Va., school in D.C., and job in Md. Most people don't cross that many line in a year.
