Companies that make correct principles a part of their culture.So that you know a little more about me, for the past 10 years I have worked as the only computer guy for a company that has grown from just over 100 employees to about 400 employees. The company does therapy and education for troubled youth. I have repaired all the computers and laptops, installed and configured all the software, setup and configured the file servers, networked the computers, managed the email server and a few other things. Being the only computer guy, I feel like I have missed out on some great opportunities to learn from my peers. I also think that I need some help developing my interpersonal and communication skills.Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.– Interest in principle Dear Principled …I’m afraid I can’t help you with your first question, for a few reasons. First, there’s no such thing as a company that fits what everyone is looking for, so what impresses me won’t necessarily impress you. Second, I don’t have much in the way of inside information about any company other than my clients. Certainly, a company’s “Values Statement” isn’t going to help, since I’m pretty sure there is an inverse correlation (albeit not a perfect one – I’d estimate the correlation coefficient to be approximately .5326) between printing a Values Statement and adhering to actual values.And third, the last I looked, 70% of all hiring is done by companies that don’t make the Fortune list – ones I’ll never have heard of. So if you want to leave the non-profit world, there is no substitute for old-fashioned research. For any company you think you might want to work for, search for news stories and current legal actions that could give you a hint (but note that there are plenty of bottom-feeding law firms that file nuisance suits, so these are far from perfect indicators). When you interview, remember that you’re interviewing the company, too: Explain to the hiring manager that a company’s principles are important to you, and ask for examples of situations where the company made a hard choice because its leaders considered it to be the proper course of action.If I were in your situation, though, I think I’d head down to the nearest United Way headquarters, explain my situation, and ask if they know of any agencies that fit what you’re looking for: An IT organization that’s more than just two or three people, but that needs an IT professional experienced in working for a non-profit.Or, recognize that not everyone is capable of being a one-person show, and take advantage of it: Ask if they know of any agencies that are looking for what you, and not that many others, can do. – Bob Technology Industry
