I leave in a small rural area, and
jobs are scarce. A job that would interest
me is an Early Childhood Program Specialist.
This job requires a Master in ECE and five years of teaching
experience. It is requested that you
have problem solving skills and supervisor skills. I want to be able to help
schools develop a program that meets the needs of all of our children. I do not
have five years of experience in the classroom but ten years of keeping a
school running smoothly.
A company called ICF is looking for an Early
Childhood Education Specialist and they are looking for Maters also, but
require a lot of travel that I cannot do.
They also require an extensive knowledge about Head Start, I know some
but not a lot about the program.
I have looked into many positions
at the Learning Care Group I like the mission statement of children having hands
on approach and foster independence. They have many positions and look for many
levels of education. I would like to
work there on an administrative level.
The third job that I looked at is a
Post Adoption Support & Education Specialist. I would like to work with families that are adopting
or have adopted a child. There are different levels of the education specialist
that starts with a Bachelors and working up to advance degrees with at least
three years of experience.
I have signed up on many job sites
to find openings in my area (50 miles) and get listing of jobs that are looking
for people.
Carmellia-An Early Childhood Education Specialist sounds like a very interesting position. Is there a lot of travel because you go from school to school in the area or is the travel even farther than that? A couple of the organizations I found specialized in adoptions and foster care and I found these interesting like you did because I do not have a lot of experience with either of these and I always enjoy new and different challenges. What area are you from again where these positions are available at?
ReplyDeleteDear Carmellia,
ReplyDeleteYou have a great post!!!! That is one thing about the finding a job is having the experience that is needed. I feel how can someone get a job if you do not give them that experience that they need. I have considered adopting by I know my husband would not like it.
