Good afternoon. Do you have any Civil grads looking for a job in San Antonio? You previously hooked us up with Allison, one of your students, and she is doing great here so we would like to find another civil graduate. I figured you would be the best person to ask. Please let me know.
Thanks and have a good evening.
