Chaparral
wants
you!
Unique Job Offer!
The
Chaparral
is seeking talented and committed individuals (no experience necessary)
for the position of correspondent.
Write for the
Chaparral!
Correspondents
would manage and implement internal and external communications (meaning
correspondents would commit themselves to write at least one article a
year on a topic if interest to the college community).
Writers could
represent their own interests, constituents’ interests (such as a member
of the Academic Senate or a Guild officer could), community groups’
interests (such as departments, divisions, work areas), as well as the
interest of the public at large.
Hiring the Best!
Preferred
qualifications: most important, candidates should be pro-active and
willing to take the initiative on articles and features, should work
well under pressure, have the ability to prioritize, met deadlines, and
demonstrate flexibility (in other words, get the article in on time).
We are
particularly interested in finding younger faculty who, although
interested, feel that they don’t have a lot of time to devote to campus
issues, so they haven’t run for Senate of Guild offices, but they could
find the time to devote to a single article in the course of a year, and
thereby become involved in campus issues whether they be instructional,
political, or social (maybe even parking).
Building Character!
The
Chaparral
is an equal opportunity employer, offering its writers no compensation,
no perquisites, no benefits package (but if you work here you have them
already); yet we do offer an extraordinary opportunity for professional
development to those who are interested.
If curious,
concerned or committed, contact the editor, Mona Field, at x5341 or
send an e-mail to
mfield@glendale.edu
