Youth Villages is looking for a Strategy Project Manager in Memphis.
Youth Villages is a non-profit that I hold in high regard. The organization, founded in Memphis, Tennessee in 1986, measures its success in reunited families and in children who are able to live at home and do well in school. Since 1994, when Youth Villages began an emphasis on helping children in the least restrictive environment — preferably in their own homes — success rates have soared: in 2009, 88 percent of the children who received at least 60 days of service at Youth Villages were discharged successfully and 83 percent of them were still living successfully in the community two years after their discharge. Youth Villages’ success rate is extraordinary when compared with a 60 percent failure rate for traditional child welfare services.
The Strategy Project Manager will also work closely with Youth Villages’ officers and directors with a focus on supporting the organization’s growth. Based in the Youth Villages’ Memphis headquarters, s/he will support facilitation of strategic planning processes (national and state levels) and identify and analyze potential growth opportunities.
This is an extraordinary opportunity for a mission- and results- driven management consultant to have significant and national-scale impact on disadvantaged youth.

You’ve probably noticed the quote on the front page of CopelandCoaching.com. It says, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Wayne Gretzky, the famous hockey star used this quote to describe sports. It’s also very relevant in your job search.
Many of my clients tell me that they often don’t apply to jobs they’re interested in because they’re not qualified. When I ask them to explain, they describe that they were a fit for 8 out of the 10 job requirements, but don’t have experience in the remaining 2. By not applying, they are automatically removing themselves from consideration. The hiring manager doesn’t even know they exist.
Unless you live in a very large city, finding the perfect job candidate can be hard work for a hiring manager. They often scour their local market for weeks if not months for a candidate who can do most of the things they’re looking for.
When a hiring manager creates a job description, they’re listing all the qualities they’d like to have in the “perfect” candidate. Hiring managers know the likelihood they’ll find someone who can meet 10 out of 10 of their requirements is quite low. And, the interesting thing is… they’re okay with that.
In reality, there may be certain requirements of the 10 that are more important to the manager than others. If you can’t fulfill the most important requirement or requirements, you may be looked over. But, if you can perform the top 5 very well, and you know about at least 3 of the others, you may be considered. The 2 things you don’t know about may be something the manager either doesn’t really need, or would be willing to teach you.
You’ll never know which of the 10 things the hiring manager needs the most. The only way to find out if you’re a fit is to apply. Let the hiring manager be the one to make the decision about whether or not to take you out of consideration.
If you think you can do a job and you’d like it, apply. What’s the worst that could happen?
Remember, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
Happy hunting!
