Kim Bear was Community Director at UMBC while I was a Resident Assistant there. She was my boss and I loved working for her. Recently, I considered applying at UMBC to work as a community director, the position that Kim held. I have always loved Student Life and would like to work at a college, but is being a community director right for me? It's a live-on-campus position, it can have an unpredictable schedule, and I would have to take a pay cut to work the position. I decided to ask Kim for her advice regarding my application.
I contacted Kim and she immediately made herself available to talk with me about the pros, cons and potential hang-ups of my application. It was great talking to her after all these years and I truly appreciated her willingness to talk to me and her openness about the position. I decided not to apply for the position. I think Brad and I could make it work for our family, but it just does not fit our long-term goals. For her time and support, I have sent Kim Bear a thank you card.
