Good Afternoon,
I am writing to see if I can place an ad in one of your organization’s upcoming newsletters or perhaps on your website. I work for a company, Westat, that is administering the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) study for the Department of Education. We are working to hire field staff all over Illinois to administer the study to 4th, 8th, and 12th graders in sampled schools and we find that it is an excellent position for retired teachers seeking a temporary position. I have put the text of the ad below, although I have a shorter version and a print version I can provide as well.
Please let me know what you need from me to start the process. I would also be happy to answer any questions you might have. You can email me back or call me at 301-738-3508. Thank you very much.
