If you enjoy working with people, numbers, and paperwork, this could be the perfect role for you!

Founded in 1922, The Johnson O’Connor Research Foundation is a national, non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping people of all ages (from high school to retirement) learn about their innate abilities to discover work that is both satisfying and a natural fit. Most of our clients hear about us through word-of-mouth referral by family, friends, or acquaintances familiar with our program.

We are looking for either a summer-only hire and/or a local year-round hire. We are busiest and most in need of help during school breaks when students are free to come in for testing: summer break, Thanksgiving and winter break, as well as fall and spring breaks. During those busy times you could work 2-5 days a week. Slower times of year may be 1-2 days a week. The job opening is for hourly work ($25/hour) and would typically involve a full 7 to 7.5 hours each day that you are in the office. However, half-days or ¾ days may be possible. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and we are located in the Buckhead business district.

In your role here, you will:

Administer aptitude tests using standardized scripts and hands-on props (moving chips on a board, disassembling blocks, etc.), many of which are timed with a stopwatch.
Score tests and enter information into the computer quickly and accurately. NOTE: Scoring of tests involves A LOT of quick math (addition, subtraction, multiplication) and paperwork.
Answer phone calls and emails with questions from potential clients, schedule appointments, and process payments (if a year-round hire.)

This is a fun and low-stress job for someone who is a natural fit:

You are good at interacting in-person and one-on-one with a wide range of people in a patient and encouraging manner (especially with teenagers).
You are comfortable moving very quickly through testing, scoring, and paperwork within set time-frames.
You feel comfortable memorizing instructional scripts, doing lots of basic math, and focusing while multi-tasking (not easily distracted).
You are conscientious, showing care for both your team members (punctual, reliable) and for quality of services provided (minimizing mistakes, following research protocols).
You enjoy working both independently and collaboratively in a small, close-knit work environment (4-5 local staff), while getting to meet interesting new clients every day!
