[YEP-DC] Part-time Employment Opportunity: DAP II Hired Interviewer

Posse DC, a college access and youth leadership program, is looking for a part-time interviewer to help identify potential scholarship recipients.

The Posse Foundation recruits, identifies and trains extraordinary leaders from urban schools and sends them in multicultural teams (posses) to some of the top colleges in the country.  Each student that is awarded the Posse Scholarship wins a four year, full-tuition scholarship worth more than $140,000 from one of our partner colleges.  Since opening in 2004, Posse D.C. has awarded over 50 million dollars in scholarships to students in the DC area. This year, Posse DC will send scholars to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Lafayette College, Bucknell University, Grinnell College, Sewanee- The University of the South, and the University of Rochester.

Job Description:  The Posse Foundation employs its Dynamic Assessment Process (DAP) as a means to assess and select candidates for the scholarship. There are three stages to DAP: a large group interview, an individual interview (for those who advance from the group interview stage), and a small group interview (for those who advance from the individual interview stage). DAP has proven very effective over the years and has led to the identification of extraordinary young talent that may have been missed by traditional college admissions criteria. Currently, Posse Scholars are graduating at a rate of 90%.

The second interview is an opportunity for the Posse staff to get to know the candidate personally.  Working in pairs, the interviewers will meet with candidates for 25 minutes.  Following this 25-minute session, the interview team will debrief by sharing notes and observations.  Interviewers should expect to interview between five to seven candidates a day. 

Qualifications:  All applicants need to be available for 20 to 30 hours a week between September 16, 2013 and October 16, 2013.

Potential candidates should have experience working with young people, have a positive attitude and be reliable.  Ideal applicants will have a basic understanding of the DC area high schools.

All hired interviewers must attend a DAP II Training Session on Friday, September 13^th.
