Sarah Lawrence College Work Values

Daily Duties at Sarah Lawrence College:

As a member of the renowned writing faculty, I taught two poetry workshops every semester which included reading contemporary poems and instructing students on various aspects of craft and demystifying the aura of difficulty around both the reading and making of poems; that poems can be as accessible or as complicated as the person writing them. The job also required me to have 30-minute conferences with each student every week to discuss, obstensibly, the poems they were writing and reading, but many times, students came unprepared or in the middle of an emotional crisis and I found myself acting as both an academic advisor and deep listener to some of the more personal issues that were affecting their performance in academia, generally.

What they like about Sarah Lawrence College:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
