Blog post #5:
Do a deep dive into the PASA TEAM page. Toggle back and forth between the Team “bios” and the program descriptions to better understand what each staff member does. Choose one position that you might be interested in pursuing (now or later in your career). What is exciting about this position to you? What seems challenging? Looking at the bio (and googling the staff member) what prior training, education, or experiences prepared them for this role? Brainstorm ONE QUESTION for Brittany about PASA.
I like the position of Human Resources Coordinator. At PASA, there is a team member named Eric who oversees and coordinates human resources for PASA. Prior to PASA, Eric worked as a substitute teacher for K-8th grade at the Gordon School in East Providence. Eric holds an ME in Curriculum Studies from University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
-I like the fact that in this position requires attention to the human resources department itself.
-However, the idea of being a Human Resources Coordinator seems like a lot of pressure and responsibility, especially because this job is a huge role in non-profit groups.
-After reading the credentials of most of the team members of PASA, it seems like the majority of them have at least a BA in some form of social work or youth development, and some even have a doctorate. Most have a degree in teaching as well, and almost all have a long history of working with youth in some capacity.
-One question I would have for Brittany would be how do you come up with different ideas for professional development for your staff every year?

Thanks for your post Bailey. What does a human resources manager do day to day (I'm asking honestly because I always worked in organizations that were too small to have human resource staff)? And what appeals to you about this position?
ReplyDeleteGreat question! That is something I would like to know too.
