Hello,

My organization, Hogar Immigrant Services in Falls Church, VA, is 
currently looking for an Education Services Manager. I know the majority 
of the students in the FAST TRAIN program are looking for jobs overseas, 
however I know there are some Peace Corps Fellows and probably a few 
others who may be looking for work in the area. Would it be possible for 
you to send the following job advertisement out to the FAST TRAIN 
listserve? The main responsibility of the job is help coordinate ESOL 
classes for adult immigrants. The schedule is quite flexible (time off 
during the day to do observations for FAST TRAIN classes and/or study) 
and even though the requirements for the job include Spanish 
proficiency, the right person could be hired without that skill. Thanks 
in advance for helping to get the word out! September is the busiest 
time of year and we really need to find someone quickly!
