Monday Morning Memo

 

Possibly the Most Challenging Job on Earth.

Can you write? Are you persuasive? Do people usually like you? Could you design classes, recruit instructors and gather adult students for an amazing adventure into the possible? Wizard Academy is a 501c3 educational organization – a school for the imaginative, the courageous and the ambitious. Many of the most brilliant and influential minds on earth come here as an escape, a retreat, a recharging of their intellectual batteries. Think of our 21-acre campus as a year-round summer camp for grown-ups. Your job is to make sure that everything always goes smoothly.

Wow. This is a very big job and managing the details is crucial. You won’t have a staff. You are the staff. Right now the job can pay you only $54,000/yr. and you’ll definitely put in more than 40 hours each week but you’ll also be hanging out with world-changers. How much is that worth?

Do you think you’re the person we need? Would you be willing to live in Austin, Texas? Tell us about yourself in a narrative letter of any length you choose. Prove that you can write. For extra credit, visit the website, create a class you feel we should offer, decide who you’d recruit to teach it, then write the course description you’d post to fill that class. The ball is in your court. What are you going to do?

“

You are standing in the snow, five and one-half half miles above sea level, gazing at a horizon hundreds of miles away. It occurs to you that life here is very simple: you live or you die.
No compromises, no whining, no second chances. This is a place constantly ravaged by winds and storm, where every ragged breath is an accomplishment. You stand on the uppermost pinnacle of the earth. This is the mountain they call Everest. Yesterday it was considered unbeatable. But that was yesterday. As Edmund Hillary surveyed the horizon from the peak of Mount Everest, he monitored the time on a wristwatch that had been specifically designed to withstand the fury of the world’s most angry mountain. Rolex believed Sir Edmund would conquer the mountain, and especially for him they created the Rolex Explorer. In every life there is a Mount Everest to be conquered. When you have conquered yours, you’ll find your Rolex waiting patiently for you to come and pick it up at Justice Jewelers. I’m Woody Justice and I’ve got a Rolex… for you.

“
