Kentucky Manufacturing Extension Partnership’s Post

We’re hiring for the Founders’ Office at Growth Valley Community —a role for versatile “Swiss knife” minds who’ll shape strategy, drive business dev, and power growth. This isn’t a job for consultants or big-firm climbers. We want builders, former founders, and rebels who thrive on chaos, crave steep learning curves, and know that when it comes to Education or Impact, adaptation/execution wins over perfection. How we hire. We hire for grit, hustle, and a willingness to learn. Education experience is a plus, but we value a “just figure it out” attitude more than anything else. Skill gaps can be fixed. Will gaps can’t. Brace for Impact: Going from 0 to 1 is tough, and we won’t sugar-coat it. If you want a comfy 9-to-5, look elsewhere. We’re moving fast. We’re fully work from office, offering freedom to exercise ideas and extreme accountability. Expect autonomy, bias for action, and a founder’s mentality. Focus will be on business development, scaling & product. Interested? Don’t send a résumé. Instead, email (sam at growthvalleycommunity dot com) us a story—tell us why you belong on this team and share a “Fool Hardy Style” anecdote about a time you hacked a system to your advantage. Show us your creativity, resourcefulness, and hunger to build. Or just DM. Excellent education is a big plus, but not at the cost of the above. Note: The above post style is inspired by another job post, but this is what we are looking forward to.

𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 Hiring is challenging not only because there are less skilled people in the market. It's challenging because people who hire team new team members lack the taste of good work. This applies to every domain of work, whether it's design, writing, development, or strategy-based roles. You will only hire good people if you have someone on the team who has tasted quality work. That's when we at Fueler® started helping brands in hiring, they started welcoming new team members with the high skin in the game. We don't claim to help brands hire people for every domain of work, but if you are looking for talented people from the 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻, you won’t have to go anywhere else, as we believe we can help you. If your company is hiring, please tag the person we can connect with. #hirewithFueler

What makes great companies? It’s not just super-smart employees, groundbreaking ideas, high valuations, or tons of investments. It’s #execution. Every successful founder I’ve met underscores the importance of execution. They’re obsessed with it. But what ensures great execution? #Teams. Not just individual stars, but high-performing teams where personal growth aligns with company goals. Teams where there’s a perfect balance of reward, growth, learning, and autonomy. Teams where people work because they’re passionate, not because they have to. As we build the marketing team at Sav, this philosophy guides us. The best teams are those where personal goals align with team objectives. We’re #hiring for three exciting roles (2-3 years of experience): #PerformanceMarketing #GrowthMarketing #ContentMarketing You don’t need to know everything, but if you’re eager to learn and seek opportunities for growth beyond your experience, we want to hear from you! DM me or send your details to vidha@sav.money to join a team where your goals and our goals meet. Let's build something great together!

Fresh eyes, Bold ideas!   Hiring the Inexperienced can be a Game-changer. ⚡   Let’s break a common myth. “Experience is everything.”   But is it?   Here is a thought. What if hiring someone without years of experience could actually bring Innovative ideas to your business? __________ ♻ Repost to help someone in your network.

It's not every day that an opportunity like this comes around—to partner with such an incredible team of people whom I have the privilege of calling my Peeps! I may be biased, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a group of Peeps more committed to ensuring no child's circumstance limits their potential than you would at PRACTICE Benefit Corp. The work we do isn't easy, and neither are the lives of the scholars we serve or the school administrators we support. But it matters. The scholars and families we serve matter. I've always believed that when faced with the choice between doing the easy thing or doing the hard thing, we should choose the hard thing because not many others would. But the people you do find doing the hard work, the kindred spirits, they're special people. Some companies choose to hire a COO so the CEO can take a step back. You might think that would be the case as I wrap up my 14th year in this seat. Let me be clear: this is not one of those companies or one of those roles. We are looking for a partner who is excited to roll up their sleeves and work hand in hand with me and the rest of our Peeps. From the very beginning of this journey, I've shared that our purpose could not be achieved by one person. In fact, it would require us to build a community and drive a movement. What we do isn't special, unique, or different, but how we do it is. We are a community of 200+ Peeps who share a common commitment to our purpose and values that go beyond slogans on a wall. We strive for excellence, act entrepreneurially, behave like conscious capitalists, and empower revolutionary change. We are currently working to support 1,000,000 low-income children by 2030. This isn't a cushy VC-backed company with money to blow "inventing the future." We are a bootstrapped organization operating in the now, building the future. We manage cash prudently and care about profitability as a means for sustainability to do this work over the long term and take care of our Peeps. If this post resonates with you or sounds like someone you know, please apply. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. If this isn't you or someone you know, I hope you will consider liking the post, adding a comment to show support, or sharing this opportunity with your network to further our purpose of ensuring no child's circumstance limits their potential. 🙏

Business owners need to recognize who should come first and determine whether these individuals are worthy of your investment. Choose wisely and decide carefully.

Did the first 6 months go according to plan? No. Did I reach my Excel forecasts? No. Did I expect things to go according to plan? No. Did the offering change? Yes. Do we have happy customers? Yes. Is the solution getting better all the time? Yes. Is our service delivery improving? Yes. Are we hiring A-team players? Yes. Does the next 6 months look positive? Yes. Will the next 6 months go exactly to plan? No 😊 Resilience is so important in business, especially in the early stages. It’s never easy starting your own business, but it’s incredibly rewarding. If you're on this journey too, I'd love to connect—let's share experiences and help each other grow.

Job descriptions often list more qualifications than are truly required, and hiring managers are often open to considering candidates who may not check every box. If you possess around 60% of the listed qualifications, you should absolutely apply. Many of the best hires come from candidates who weren't sure they were qualified enough, but took a chance and applied anyway. Imposter syndrome can be a major obstacle that holds people back from going for roles they are more than capable of. The reality is, your dream job may be just one application away. Employers like Motion are often open to considering candidates who bring strong potential and a willingness to learn, even if they don't perfectly match the job posting. The key is to have the confidence to put yourself out there, rather than self-rejecting before you've even tried. You never know what opportunities could be in store if you take that leap. Wishing the best of luck to anyone considering a role at Motion or elsewhere - your next great career move may be closer than you think.
