A note from the Executive Director:If you want to apply for this job, the following should be true of you:
- You need to take initiative and be willing to make mistakes. We’ve failed lots in the past and try to make new mistakes every day because we believe that is how you learn the quickest. You need to trust us to be cool and you need to be vulnerable.
- You aren’t assumptive, you look for clarity and don’t mind looking ignorant because you care more about being valuable than looking smart. You will understand why you are doing what is asked of you because you know we expect you to use your brain and make judgment calls regularly.
- You are crazy-organized and productive. Maybe you’ve read Getting Things Done by David Allen and you’ve made it your own (that would probably make you a shoe-in candidate).
- You should know yourself pretty well - knowing your strengths and weaknesses (bonus points if you include your top 5 strengths from Gallup’s Strengthsfinder assessment in your cover letter).
- You should be confident and friendly, not intimidated by others. You should be direct and to the point and not worry about hurting our feelings (but don’t be mean).
- You need to be task oriented and love knocking things off your checklist. This is a big one.
- You should be able to read this list of tasks and competencies and figure out how to present yourself in a personal letter to us explaining why you would likely be a great fit (even though you may be missing one of the attributes we are looking for). You would be able to know what would count as evidence that you are smart and capable enough to roll with us. If you just send a resume and not a cover letter you won’t hear back from us because you aren’t a careful enough reader to get the job (though you read this far, so you obviously will include it).
Because no child should be abandoned to raise themself, A Child’s Hope Foundation exists to equip orphaned and vulnerable children with skills, resources, and community so they can improve the trajectory of their lives.
