This job might be for you if:
- You're a numbers nut. You love accounting for them, balancing them, analyzing them, forecasting them, visualizing them, and helping others understand them.
- You communicate clearly. You're well-written and well spoken. You can explain just about anything to just about anyone.
- You enjoy helping people. The world's a full of challenges and, as far as you're concerned, it's a little bit easier with help. Your patience and resourcefulness get them to a solution every time.
- You enjoy solving problems. Complex issues allow your creativity to shine. You aren't bothered if you don't immediately know the answer because you know you will find it.
- You pay attention to the details. While you didn't coin the phrase 'anything worth doing is worth doing right', you wish you had. You're focused and nothing gets by you on your watch.
- You think on your feet. To you learning is fun and learning quickly is more fun. When things change, chances are, you were a key contributor.
- You take initiative. You take pride in being at the head of the volunteer line because you want to make a difference. You will make your time with us impactful.
