Emma, I'm writing this e-mail because I felt like I left a lot on the table during my interview that I wish to address. With the intentions of deciding upon and announcing the directors before CIJID I felt there may not be enough time to schedule a follow up interview, so I hope to further get my point across in this e-mail of why I believe I am qualified and fitting for the job of Program Director.
I know one of your concerns you raised during the interview was the small amount of management experience. I agree that I may not have the most management experience however I feel that I have proven myself as an effective manager because the limited time I spent in the roles I have come in in less then ideal situations and improved upon them. …show more content…
One thing is I think one of the program directors should try and stop by each lodge every week not only to talk to staph and the AD briefly but to see the lodge. This will overall improve communication while also allowing upper management to see and suggest improvements on the lodges and staph. Another goal of mine, which I discussed and further built upon at dinner after the interviews is to improve upon the CIT program. I think back and although CITs were not treated as well in the past we had a larger percent of CITs that would continue on and join staph. When I think back the reason why I continued on after my CIT years wasn't based on how I was treated but I loved the opportunities I had been given. In recent years the CIT program has focused more on trainings and watching and observing others teach. As well as a extra work force helping in the dining hall or parking cars. I think that this training and work is great but we should also bring back some of the teaching opportunities. I believe we should have CITs return to staph week (and not have that count towards their 3 weeks) which will allow them to bound with staph, bound as a whole CIT group and go through the training with everyone else. With their training already done this will free up more time for them to be actual staph members during their three weeks. …show more content…
I have always believed that it doesn't matter how loud or enthusiastic you are as a program director if you cannot inspire the staph, one to two people's enthusiasm is no where near as loud and enthusiastic as 80 people can be. This all shows in my believe in 'if someone else is working you should be to' and 'first one up, last one to bed' and is the reason as to why those are the core of desire to be program
