Dear U.S. Citizen Engineers

In regards to Applying to General Dynamics Electric Boat. I recieved this email today, which may be of interest to you.

"The purpose of this e-mail is to provide some clarification in the
application process for Electric Boat based upon a conversation that I had
earlier today with a UB student.

For your on-line application, be sure to update your profile to include the
summer internship with the requisition number (08-2777) below if you wish
to be considered for a position. If you applied last fall (before this
requisition request came on line), you will need to open your profile and
add this requisition number to your application. You may include up to
five requisition numbers at any one time.

Applications are continually being reviewed and consideration for summer
internships is being accomplished as applications are received. The
closing date for this requisition is March 6, 2009. I will be attending
the Career Fair on March 3rd. In the mean time if you have any
questions, please do not hesiate to call me at 860-433-6053, or Mike
Glienke at 860-433-4769.

Additionally, I was at a college recruitment meeting today. Electric Boat
is looking to hire approximately 250 Full-time Engineers during 2009 (this is in
addition to the internship listed below). If you know of anyone graduating
this spring and are interested in a job opportunity at Electric Boat, please
have them contact me or check out our webpage at www.gdeb.com. Electric
Boat is also listed on Monster.com.

Good luck!
