(*There may be opportunities for an alternate work schedule and working remotely in accordance with State policies.) We are looking for individuals with special skills and lived experiences that can be hard to find, and things that don’t automatically come from special training or degrees. Are you: Observant – Are you good at reading people and situations? Are you sensitive to body language, social cues, and other patterns of behavior? Do you listen closely to what people say – and don’t say – to “read between the lines” and interpret the thoughts and feelings that people hold back? Helpful - Is it easy for you to imagine how other people feel and understand their point of view? Do you prefer to focus on solutions to problems instead of the hurdles? Do you have a passion for helping make people’s lives easier or better? Outgoing - Are you a “people person” by nature? Do you like getting to know new people who are different from you? Are you naturally talkative and friendly? Is it easy for you to negotiate, find compromise and gain the cooperation of others? A Problem Solver- Are you naturally curious and enjoy learning new things? Do you like puzzles or finding ways to solve a problem? Are you always thinking about how something could be improved or done better? Does it really bother you when something doesn’t make sense? Do you always need to know how things work and the “why” behind a situation? Capable – Are you flexible and organized under stress? Are you a good multi-tasker who deals well with changes? Are you someone who stays prepared? When you fail or experience a setback, are you able to keep going and try something different? Do you keep a level head when things get out of control? Do people often ask you for your advice? If so, then we have an excellent opportunity for you to join our growing team and really make a difference in people’s lives.
