Job Description:
Provide onsite high power training and support in Microsoft Office in a Windows XP desktop environment to client users at various locations within New York City, and develop training materials and training aids both for client and for internal consumption.
 
Candidate must satisfy these two sets of requirements:
 
(1) Teaching ability:
  • Teaching license, graduation from a Teacher's College or current attendance at a teacher's college preferred. Extensive tutoring experience is a second best preference.
  • Ability to teach to small groups, as well as individuals. Interact, challenge, and DON'T put anybody to sleep.
  • Ability to design training programs in short order to achieve specified goals. These programs will include short, effective lesson plans.
  • Flexibility in applying teaching methodologies to reach out to trainees. Be observant and think on your feet.
  • Ability to design and develop training materials and aids both for client and for internal use
 
(2) Subject matter mastery:

  • Must have power user level proficiency or above with Microsoft Office. MOUS certification is nice, but power user level proficiency is more important than the ability to recall arcane features 
The ideal candidate will be Microsoft certified.
