Ah well, guess I'll just have to start a wind project of my own and gain some technical experience that way.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the information, though. <BR/><BR/>Chrischrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474897835570476116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29787038.post-31288948137000626402007-11-23T13:02:00.000-05:002007-11-23T13:02:00.000-05:00Hi Chris,Certainly I'd recommend it for anyone wit...Hi Chris,<BR/><BR/>Certainly I'd recommend it for anyone with technical expertise. There will be many, many companies exhibiting and it would be easy to talk with them by cruising the trade show floor.<BR/><BR/>I would guess that AWEA may hold a Job Fair in conjunction with the conference (for other readers, that's the WINDPOWER 2008 Conference & Exhibition we are talking about, more info <A HREF="http://www.windpowerexpo.org/" REL="nofollow">here</A>). I'll see if I can find out more about that for you.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Tom<BR/><BR/>Thomas O.

And I noticed a couple communication jobs. <BR/><BR/>I'm curious, would you recommend attending the AWEA conference in June to search for such employment opportunities?<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks.<BR/>Chrischrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474897835570476116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29787038.post-42686633556054304232007-11-17T22:02:00.000-05:002007-11-17T22:02:00.000-05:00Hi Chris,The best advice I have to offer is to con...Hi Chris,<BR/><BR/>The best advice I have to offer is to consult the American Wind Energy Association Jobs Board. It's available through the <A HREF="http://www.awea.org" REL="nofollow">AWEA home page</A>. I see a couple of Communications listings there that might be possibilities. The industry is continuing to expand and there are many openings, but, of course, not too many that are non-technical in nature.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Tom<BR/><BR/>Thomas O.

I've been poking my nose around various places to see if I might be able to apply my skills, experience and intellect to this industry, but as an English professor, the opportunities appear to be quite limited. Any advice?chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474897835570476116noreply@blogger.com
