제목: Head Custodian 
채용 사이트: 카파아 고등학교
히도에서의 세월: 10
해당 직책에서 근무한 기간: 10

Q: 본인의 커리어 경로에 대해 간략하게 설명해 주세요.
A: I worked all in construction before this. I originally applied for this position for the benefits. 

질문: 주요 업무는 무엇인가요?
A: Mostly just keeping the school running. I help oversee construction projects when they take place at the school. I mostly try to make school better, and make the campus pretty and more up to date. I help to get through the red tape to get things done at the school. We work closely with DAGS (the Department of Accounting and General Services) on Kauaʻi and are lucky to have a good relationship with them. 

Q: 이 직업에서 가장 좋아하는 부분은 무엇인가요?
A: My favorite part of the job is just trying to make the whole school look nice. It’s an older school — a 70-year-old school — so there’s a lot of work to be done. 

Q: 현직에서 가장 어려운 점은 무엇인가요?
A: Probably just the state processes of getting projects completed. Also getting funds for things and preventive maintenance on campus. 

Q: 이 직책을 고려하는 사람들에게 어떤 조언을 해주고 싶으신가요?
A: I come from a background of how to fix things so that was helpful for this position. But I had to learn how to make a team work and build team relationships. It’s important to know how to motivate a team so that you can work together to meet your goal or vision. 

질문: 여러분의 역할은 학생들의 성공을 어떻게 지원하나요?
A: Being from a construction background, the shop teachers sometimes pick my brain for projects they are working on with students. Right now, for example, they are working on tiny home projects so I’ve helped with that. Also, Kauaʻi is small so we all know each other’s families and are just always looking out for students and their best interest.
