Step 1: Read
Be sure you have read through all of the
relevant
information in this website:
-

afford
to
work at Summer Camp?

benefits
of working at Makemie Woods?

-
Personnel
Policies
: an abridged version of this section of our staff manual--dry reading,
but stuff you should probably know before you commit yourself to
working
at Makemie Woods.
Step 2: E-mail
Please
e-mail
us to let us know that you are interested in applying, and you are
downloading an application. You can also ask any questions you have, or
get help with this process. If for some reason your are unable to
download
the application, please request a paper application to be sent to you.
Step 3: Apply
Option 1:
Use the Adobe Acrobat plug-in with your browser and print out the
application
and reference form using your printer. Printing it means you will need
to submit it via regular mail or fax. Or you may just want to print a
copy
to look at so you can compose your thoughts before filling it out on
some
electronic means.
Option 2:
Click here to download the
application
in Word format . IN ORDER TO USE THIS FORMAT, YOU MUST
HAVE 1) a word processing program that will use this format, and 2) be
able to send files AS ATTACHMENTS to e-mail.
Last resort:
If you have problems downloading an application, please
e-mail Mike Burcher or call her at 800-566-1496 to have her send you a
paper
application. Make sure you include your mailing address!
About references: We require
three written references in addition to the interview before we can
offer
the position. You need to send the reference form to the three
people
you list on your application. You can
print the reference form (Adobe
format) ,or you can paste this link: http://www.makwoods.org/pub/2008ref.pdf
into an e-mail to
these persons.
Please tell them why you are applying, and what position you are
applying
for. If they do not have access to a fax machine, it is a
courtesy
to send a stamped envelope with the camp's address already on it. You
can
also have the persons serving as your reference use this
MSWord document
to fill out the form on their computer--but they still need to mail or
fax it, as we need a signature.
One of the persons writing
a reference for you must be a pastor or other church professional
who knows you. If the person who is currently serving as pastor
of
your home church does not know you, please ask a campus pastor or youth
minister who does to write this reference.
It is critical that
we have ACCURATE addresses and phone numbers for your references!
Step 4: Interview
After
we have received all pieces of your application -- including references
-- we will contact you for an interview. We begin interviewing in
January and continue to hold interviews on a monthly basis. If,
for some reason, you must make a decision regarding your summer plans
faster than our regular interview schedule allows, please let us know
and we will do our very best to accommodate your timeline.
Face-to-face interviews at the
camp are strongly preferred. However, we recognize that more and more
of our staff reside a significant distance from our property. In those
instances, phone interviews are completely acceptable.
Applicants should plan to be available for an interview by the personnel
committee on the date indicated either in person or by phone, and can expect to
be notified about a job within 1 week of the interview, assuming all references
were received by the interview date.
We look forward to hearing from
you.
Please contact us if you have difficulty with this process.
May
God bless your decision to apply to work at Makemie Woods.
