FarmHouse International Fraternity

Gentlemen:

We're starting a new prominent section on the FarmHouse International web
site. Each year we get dozens of calls from alumni who are major employers,
from top agribusinesses and from others interested in hiring FarmHouse
members for internships and for full-time jobs.

Our plan is to start two main sections of resumes on the www.FarmHouse.org
site --- one for seniors who'll be graduating in the next year; the other
for freshmen-junior members who are interested in internships.

Each section will break down resumes even further by category -
agriculture, engineering, education, business, communications, technology,
etc.

Once we start getting resumes posted, we plan to promote this link to our
alumni in Pearls & Rubies and send out special mailings to key alumni who
are major employers, CEOs and work in human resources and personnel.

One alumnus in particular has challenged us to develop this link. He is
CEO of an agricultural commodities firm that employees 150 people. And he's
looking for a way to better target FarmHouse members to hire. Another
alumnus who is CEO of an agribusiness that specializes in animal and food
safety and who employs 225 people also expressed great interest in such a
section of our site. Less than a month ago he had roughly 40 positions open
with his company - and was seeking a way to reach FarmHouse grads.

Here's what we need you to do ---

1. Resume must be no longer than 1 page and in a Word document (no Mac
format).

2. Be sure it includes school and home contact info (addresses, phone
numbers, email addresses).

3. Be sure it lists expected graduation date.

4. E-mail as an attachment to our web master Brian McCann at
bmccann@ext.msstate.edu ... We'd encourage you to copy this email address
into your e-mail address book for further reference (might call it "FH
resumes") It'll be posted as a PDF file.

5. In the subject line of the e-mail please list "Full-time position" or
"Internship" and which broad category you're interested in it be placed in
"Agriculture, Engineering, Business, Communications, etc."

6. For those seniors seeking full-time positions, your resume will be up
for 1 year (unless you ask Brian to remove it). Those underclassmen seeking
internships will have their resumes up for at least 1 year. If not updated
before the year is up, your resume will be taken down.

7. To update your resume, simply re-send it to Brian McCann at
bmccann@ext.msstate.edu ... Since Brian is a volunteer and we don't want to
drive him absolutely crazy, we ask that you update your resume no more than
once a semester.

8. Even if you've accepted an internship or a job offer, it doesn't hurt
to still post. You never know what job contacts and future leads may come
from it.

We encourage you to take advantage of this great service we'll be offering
to our students and to our alumni employers!

Fraternally,

Jim Griffith
Executive Director
