A graduating graduate student with a MS in Forensic Science needs a job

[AdamWolff]

Hi everyone.  It seems this section of the forums is not being used anymore, so I figure I will give it a shot.

I am graduating this December with a Masters of Science in Forensic Science and would love to work in a firearm and toolmark unit in a crime lab.  I had a previous internship in the firearm and toolmark unit here in Miami, Florida and enjoyed it a lot.  My main task was to categorize .44 and .45 casings.  I even created a searchable database on excel that lets a user choose certain aspects of an unknown casing and it will show you what casing it might be along with a photograph.

I do not mind relocating at all and already have applied to a few jobs on the aafs website.  I would love to start asap as well.

Thank you for looking
