Paid Summer Internship- 61023
The Buffalo Group, Reston, Virginia      
Get your foot in the door in the $490 billion dollar defense contracting industry, and apply to be an intern at The Buffalo Group. As The Buffalo Group is a small business, you will not have a clearly set role, but by the same token, you will learn the entire business and not be pigeonholed into one area. Most of your duties will be assisting the proposal team in writing proposals to federal government agencies. You will learn the proposal writing and management process, and if you excel at writing extensive, detailed research papers, you will do well as a proposal assistant. Depending on your skill set, you may be assisting our recruiters to recruit new candidates to put on Government contracts. You might help them look for very specific skill sets that the Government needs, such as a linguist that speaks Pashto for example. Also depending on your skill set, you may help our Human Resources Manager in helping our new hires with their paperwork and understanding of our benefits package. To reiterate, our major need is a proposal assistant/coordinator, but also have needs for a recruiting assistant and HR assistant. If you excel in this fast paced environment and are a quick learner, we are definitely open to hiring you fulltime after you graduate.

QUALIFICATIONS
Proficient in Microsoft Office. Excellent writer, good communication and personal skills. Knowledge of the defense industry or Government intelligence organizations is a plus.
