About candidate

About you
I have worked in the education field for over 37 years; I thrive when I'm working with and teaching/helping people. I enjoy hiking, traveling, planning events/parties and crocheting funky granny square pants. I have an extreme sense of adventure and am drawn to new challenges which has led me to my current role as a Flight Attendant. With my current position, I am away from home 24+ days a month (due to where I'm based) and am seeking a job where I can be at home again.
What are you looking for in a new role?
I am looking for a part-time remote position and am willing to travel if needed. Because I've been in positions where there has been little or no onboarding, I have always been an advocate for creating these processes in the work place.

I'm hoping to form connections and relationships with people, incorporate my teaching experience as well as my other skillsets, and most importantly, bring excellency to your company. In addition, I am seeking an environment where there are processes in place but opportunity to find improvements and create new ones.
What you are interested in working with us?
Naukri Mitra is a reputable company that offers flexible working environments. Your company's values of "trust and efficiency" spoke to me. In the past, when asked, "What would you like from a team?" I would have answered, "teamwork, cooperation, connections, etc.", but now I answer, "excellency and reliability" because to me, that is what builds a great team. Also, I'm impressed with your company's international presence, which is an area I have yet to explore.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
In a past role, my most challenging experience was, with no training or mentor, navigating a new computer program that had a deadline attached.

I was transitioning to a new role while continuing the responsibilities of a current job. I was told to submit all faculty Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits into the American Osteopathic Association's portal by the end of week so physicians could maintain thier licensing. No one in my department knew this program or the passwords to access it.

I spent 2 days on the phone, gaining permission and access to the portal as well as acquiring contacts for training. I then collected CME credit details from 60+ faculty and imported their information before the deadlilne. I completed this all while doing a fulltime workload.

After this experience, I created extensive training materials to pass along to the next person and trained an additional coworker so history would not be repeated.

Dear Hiring Team,

I was excited to discover the opportunity to become a Remote Onboarding Coordinator because the of the high standard of excellency that your company exhibits. My interest in pursuing a professional change, stems from seeking a position that utilizes my education background to support new-hire progression, program development and executing events, three of my strongest attributes.

One rewarding aspect of being a part of a medical school, is Match Day! While working in the Clinical Education Department, I have supported the curricular requirements of students. This spanned from training how to navigate computer programs and processes of the Clinical Education Department, matching their rotation evaluations in New Innovations to documenting every academic move students made (tracking NBME scores, assessing evaluation comments, overseeing remediation plans and organizing course requirements). Having witnessed student successes and struggles throughout medical school, I feel pure joy when students announce their residency placement.

Within my past position, I was charged to design and implement a Preclinical Mentorship Program from the ground up. Second- year medical students were paired with mentors in desired specialties to talk about their day-to-day, rewarding experiences and unforeseen challenges to help shape next steps as students move into their clinical years. This entailed reaching out to hundreds of preceptors, surveying student specialty interests, creating discussion points and scheduling Zoom mentoring sessions (over 200). The initial goal was to launch the program in 1 year, but within 4 months, our sessions began. Although a successful mentorship program was started, a few learning moments surfaced, and this student opportunity exceeded expectations during the next academic year.

Responsive communication, creating connections, building trust and exhibiting excellency are a few key ingredients to successfully working with others and planning. During my career, I have facilitated various experiences from student orientation to a statewide Leader-In-Me Conference. My education background of being proactive, creating meticulous outline and following up on details has afforded me a new skillset in medical education, clinical event planner. Using project-based programs like Trello, Microsoft and Asana have been vital for tracking short-term goals, devising next steps and team communication.

I would be thrilled to learn more about this position and show how I can contribute to Naukri Mitra’s mission of delivering excellence; thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Sincerely,

Susan Strickland
