Dustin Hinson gave a lecture for the Spokane Community College Water Resources Program entitled “Water Resources Consulting”.  This hour-long lecture taught first and second year water resources students what they could expect if they embarked upon a water resources career with an environmental consulting firm.  Many project examples were highlighted to allow students to understand the services consultants provide and the day-to-day tasks encountered in the world of consulting.  Questions discussed and answered during the lecture included:

• What is consulting?
• What types of consulting firms are there?
• What do consultants do?
• Who do consultants work for?
• What makes a “good” consultant?
• What consulting jobs are out there for college graduates?
• Where should you look for consulting jobs?
• What are some tips for interviewing with consulting firms?
