Remember those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books from when you were a kid? I used to LOVE those things. Well, now my friends at Global Kids have announced a new "Choose-Your-Own-Job-Description" set of job openings:
We are currently looking to hire three to four people. However, each position contains more than one area of responsibility, all of which can be mixed-and-matched. And who are WE to tell YOU the best combination? Instead. we are looking to YOU to tell US the best combination of responsibilities to meet your strengths and interests. There are eleven possible combinations, each with is own job description. Some are full time, some are part-time, and one is as a consultant. Some require work in our NYC office while others can be performed remotely. These details are described within each job description.
I think it's a really innovative and logical way to do a job search, since ultimately every person has something unique that they bring to the table that is only rarely fully captured by the job they happen to be applying for. Hopefully this kind of job search results in the right person doing the right tasks. I'll be checking in later with Barry to see how this goes.
