I'm not teaching class today because the Career Fair at Michigan Technological University is such a big deal, we formalized it as a recess from classwork. But I'm always struck by the fact that large #environmental and #civil #engineering firms, nearly all of which have #culturalresources units or divisions, don't recruit for #CRM employees at this event. They don't collect resumes or interview young archaeologists, architectural historians, ethnographers, or historians of any type. I've asked about this at American Cultural Resources Association (ACRA) before. I understand why small and regional firms don't come here to recruit, but the big firms? Why is the hiring process so different for archaeological technicians and project supervisors in CRM vs. other fields in resources management, development, and planning? I keep hearing about how hard it is for companies to find and retain professionals in resource management jobs, but I don't see that the hiring process changed this year... Barr Engineering Co. Commonwealth Associates, Inc. Tetra Tech The Mannik & Smith Group, Inc. TRC Companies, Inc. US Army Corps of Engineers ECS Limited You are all here, but none of you listed "social sciences" or "anthropology" or "history" or any other allied major that could supply your company with these workers. Could it be a problem with the Career Soft Solutions Inc's #CareerFair+ website structure or design? I don't think so. It makes me wonder if these companies are serious about their cultural resources compliance units, their commitment to NEPA/NHPA, or the way that the cultural resource professionals within these companies assert their significance alongside their peers in other fields. —- Evening postscript. I’ve had some rants today. But the CRM sector is a $1,500,000,000 annual industry. Can’t we even get your co-workers at the giant firms to understand that these professions matter at their own companies?
