Future or Interested Individuals
Ms Yanli "Joyce" Chen
Ms Chen is currently a student at Auburn University where she is working on her Ph.D. When she graduates, she has a position waiting for her at STSS, Inc.
She has eclectic interests. Her studies have been in chemistry, but she is an excellent cook and she enjoys preparing authentic Chinese dishes. She could consult on bio-fuel research and she could provide a catering service where she could teach about Chinese food, about how to prepare Chinese food, about the place of food in the Chinese culture, and about how business and relationships are done over meals. So she is more than just an Event Coordinator.
Ms Dorothy Hunt
Ms Hunt is familiar with school libraries and how technology has changed things. She has been teaching experienced librarians how to use technology to support the educational process. She has transformed her own school library into an exciting and an inviting place for the students. She is a part time employee, but will come on board when the time is right in her life.
We have others who work on a temporary bases. Some of these are looking forward to coming on board either part time or full time.

- Our Business
We are always looking for good people. We have a special passion for those individuals who come groups that traditionally have a hard time landing a job. If you have some interesting skills and you have had a hard time landing interviews, contact us.
As our company grow, we will need new skills. For example, we do not have a human resource manager. But as we grow the CFO will not be able to handle this area for us.
We do have some skills, but as we grow we may need more individuals to help us with federal projects and with other projects.
We see ourselves as employees of God. He is the boss and He is present in everything we do. This company was formed by His leading and we do not wish to ever forget that.
We will treat each other and our clients with the highest respect. We will do our best for God and for our clients.
We look to see what skills a person has. If it is possible, we try to market those skills. That is how we have grown.
