\nYou\u2019re Also:<\/p>\n
A detailed doer \u2013 You have a track record of getting things done. You\u2019re organized and responsive. You take ownership of every idea you touch and execute it to a fine level of detail, setting targets, engaging others, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. You can multi-task dozens of such projects at once and never lose sight of the details. Likely, you have some experience in a start-up or other rapid-growth company.
\nA networking mastermind \u2013 You excel at meeting new people and turning them into advocates.\u00a0 You communicate in a clear, conscientious, and effective way in both written and oral speech. You can influence strangers in the course of a single conversation. Allies and colleagues will go to bat for your ideas. You have an existing network from prior experience in the country, preferably in the regulatory, education, or business sectors.
\nA creative problem-solver \u2013 Growing any business from scratch comes with massive and constant challenges. On top of that, KwaraLEARN works in often fragile, sometimes volatile low-resource communities and with complex government systems. You need to be flexible and ready to get everything done effectively, quickly, and affordably with the materials at hand.
\nA relentless advocate \u2013 The children we serve and teachers we empower never leave your mind. You know them, get them, have shared a meal with them (or would be happy to in the future). You would never shrink back from shaking a parent\u2019s hand or picking up a crying child, no matter what the person was wearing or looked like.\u00a0 Every decision you make considers their benefit, experience,
\nand value.
\nA malleable learner \u2013 You believe you can always do better. You welcome constructive criticism and provide it freely to others.\u00a0 You know you only get better tomorrow when others point out where you\u2019ve missed things or failed today.
\nA data-driven decision-maker \u2013 When making decisions, you don\u2019t rely on your intuition alone. You collect data, you analyze it and make decisions with clear justifications.
\nA curious investigator \u2013 You ask why a lot. You don\u2019t just take what you see and accept it. You wonder why it is that way, and are aware that the world we see is created by human choices and actions \u2013 and it could be different. You wonder, and see the world as wonderful even when you want to change a part of it that is unjust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":695,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_promoted":"","_job_location":"Kwara","_application":"aiddn2016@yahoo.com","_company_name":"KwaraLEARN (Leading Education Achievement and Reform Now","_company_website":"","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job-types":[3],"class_list":{"0":"post-20521","1":"job_listing","2":"type-job_listing","3":"status-publish","4":"hentry","5":"job_listing_type-full-time","7":"job-type-full-time"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jobsinnaija.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/20521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jobsinnaija.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/job-listings"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jobsinnaija.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jobsinnaija.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jobsinnaija.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jobsinnaija.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fjob-types&post=20521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
