This and previous posts are posted weekly at my blog.http://bit.ly/11wCDB3
Job Description 1: Finance
Young, assertive person who is interested in business, specifically real estate. Preferably a business school or economics major especially if they are coming out of the MAC program or an equivalent. This person would be learning from our current CFO how to manage & account for the finances of our various companies, since we own a few and each property is managed as individual business. Since our current CFO will continue to work with us for a few years, this position would not represent a full time job. Thus, to fill the extra capacity, we would be looking for this person to also be the Regional / Asset Manager for our portfolio of properties (currently 4 assets).
This will require someone who is assertive, willing to give direction, etc... This asset management portion of the job might sound somewhat intimidating to someone who has never been in the business, yet property / asset management is mostly common sense along with some guidance from myself, Brad & our CFO. For our business, a CFO works closely with property / asset management as the financials of the properties tie closely in with the overall operations. Thus, it is important to have someone that is strong in both the accounting arena in addition to management.
Our goal would be to phase our current CFO out as he approaches retirement with this new person or in other terms, this new young buck would be groomed for our CFO position. Thus, it will have to a good match.
Job Description 2: Computer Science
Thanks! I was a Teach For America corps member and taught at Northampton County HS in the NE part of the state for 2 years. I taught HS biology and chemistry before coming to Carolina to pursue my MPH degree.
Now, two of my fellow TFA corps members who are both UNC alumni have received state funding to run a 4-week summer STEM program this summer. Students will attend 1 period of math, 1 period of science, and 2 periods of computer programming/website design each day for the 4 weeks. We hope that students will learn to code and design basic websites for small businesses in the area.
Therefore, we are looking for undergraduates with computer programming/website design skills who are willing to commit to working 6 weeks this summer to teach 60 HS kids the basics of computer coding/Drupal (June 24th through August 2nd). The position would pay $2500-$3500 given the individual's level of experience. Housing is provided in Roanoke Rapids, NC. Transportation can be arranged from the housing site to Northampton County HS each day if needed.
This position is ideal for anyone who is qualified and interested in applying to Teach For America in future years.
