<p class="MsoNormal">Hi - <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Rachel Bromhead. I work at a company in Grand Rapids called Tekton. We're quite involved with Calvin's engineering and business departments and in fact, we've hired quite a few students and alum. We're always so impressed with
their level of dedication to their work. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We're in need of a position we're calling an IT Operations Developer. This person would work in our IT department with Aaron Koenes, a Calvin alum, working on the continuing development of our ERP system (NetSuite), and also helping to
develop websites that are used internally and externally. This person would also provide IT technical support for all employees. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This would be a great position for someone about the graduate or a recent graduate. I'm hoping you have some connections to these individuals. We look for high performers in their professional life, but also their personal life. Someone
with strong integrity and capable of working hard and doing what's right. Any connections you have with Computer Science professors would also be great, I'd love to learn more about the program and how Tekton can be involved. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
