Pivot Learning Partners: Employee Profile
0%
Exit Survey
 
 
Introduction
 
 
 
Thank you for your interest in working for Pivot Learning Partners!  As part of the hiring process, we are asking that you complete the following "Employee Profile."  

This profile allows you to identify which of our three program areas in which you are most interested in working and then to provide us information about your background, experience and skills related to those area(s).  

We will use the information that you provide to:
1) Add you to our pool of coaches from which we draw from for project assignments and internal projects such as supporting the development of new products and services;
2) Provide information about your background and skills to those at Pivot seeking project coaches; and to 
3) Share information with a client or potential client about the assigned project team.

We may also use the data you provide, in aggregate, to share information externally in applications for grant-, government and fee-for-service work, and with future funders or clients, about the overall profile of our coaches (e.g. number of former superintendents, number of math content area experts).

For these reasons, this employee profile should be completed by all new candidates for Project Leads and/or coach positions. Any candidates for Project Leads and/or coaches must complete the Profile before starting work with Pivot.

All interested coaches should complete the overview section, which will provide us with basic information.  Then you will be prompted to choose which of our three program areas you are interested in applying to work and align to your experience and expertise.  You can choose one, two or three areas and will be prompted to provide information only in the areas you select. At the very end of the Employee Profile, you will be prompted to upload your resume, as well as artifacts that reflect your work in the program area section(s) that you have completed. We have included further direction at that point in time.

If you need support while completing or submitting this form, including attaching artifacts, please contact Alanna Lynn at [email protected] or Madeleine Jacobs at [email protected].

Note: Please set aside at least enough time to complete a single page in one sitting. Do not leave your computer until you have completed the page that you are currently on. QuestionPro only allows 90 minutes of inactivity per page before it logs you out of that page. If it logs you out, you will lose that information. 

Based on our pilot of the Profile, we believe that it will take you anywhere between 2-3 hours to complete the Profile. In most cases, with the open ended text boxes, you should be able to take information from an existing resume. In most cases, for the other questions, you will select radio buttons or choose from drop down menus – which should save time. The most time consuming part of the profile will likely be the compiling and uploading of artifacts.

To start the profile, please choose "Continue" below to begin the Overview section on the next page. Welcome aboard!

Note: If you are ready to continue completing the profile, please select "Continue." If you would like to save your work thus far and return to working on this at a later time, choose "Save Page and Continue Later." When you click "Save Page and Continue Later," you will be prompted to complete the entire page and then click "Okay."

At that time, you will need to enter an email address to which QuestionPro will send your survey link. At a later time, when you are ready to start working on the Profile again, you will click on the survey link sent to your email, and it will take you back to the survey. You may need to check your spam folder to find this link.

Note that you will not return to the page you left before. Instead, you will be directed to the next page of the Profile. In fact, you will not be able to return to the page you left in your previous session, and you cannot go backwards in the tool. For this reason, it is very important that you complete the entire page before you click on ‘Save Page and Continue Later’ and ‘Okay.’ In that way, although you do not have to complete the entire Profile in one sitting, you do have to complete the page you are viewing in one sitting.
