The Monday Morning Memo

This ad has been read by tens of thousands.
Hundreds have applied for the job.
I now have stacks of resumes featuring
gloriously misspelled words, horrid grammar,
pointless emotional gushing and
no answers to any of my questions.

Do you have sales experience? Were you any good at it? Are you a people person? Can you write? Wizard Academy is a nontraditional business school attended by some of the brightest minds on earth. Nobel prize winners. Engineers on the Space Shuttle project. Entrepreneurs of all descriptions. Are you capable of conceptualizing new classes, recruiting adjunct faculty to teach those classes, and then, most importantly, filling those classes with students? Our very successful non-profit (501c3) business school is 10 years old and situated on a fabulous 22 acre campus in Austin, Texas. This Vice Chancellor's position is essentially a highly sophisticated sales job. You will write a weekly newsletter to alumni, respond to their questions, sell corporate event planners on scheduling private planning retreats on our campus facilitated by our faculty, solicit donations, fill classes with students. Your performance will be measured by the dollars you bring into the school. You will have no staff, no ad budget. On the other hand, you'll have the email addresses of a few thousand alumni who love this place and a magnificent, 14-room student mansion you can use to house VIP guests. We have no interest in seeing your resume. We need to know if you can write and speak and sell. Send a one page proposal of no more than 800 words explaining why you are uniquely qualified to be our Vice Chancellor. What do you bring to the table? The job pays $60,000/yr. and you get to live in wonderful Austin, Texas. Apply by email to Tamara@WizardAcademy.org

Random Quote:

“Once I was lucky enough to take a class with the great clown teacher Giovanni Fusetti and one of the things that he talked about was the ancient idea of a hero. In the Greek myths, humans were subject to massive and unknown forces outside of their control. The whims of the gods – fickle gods – the gods of wind, waves and war, of luck, of love, of age and death. And from up on Mount Olympus, humans, humans look like little ants in the face of all these things. Giovanni said that despite these unknowns the hero pushes, pushes up against all these forces, fiercely pushes, shoulders back, despite the knowledge that he can’t win, that he will die in the end. The clown on the other hand, celebrates the falling, the failure, the absurdity of skipping along the bottom, the absurdity of trying at all…
