Job Description
If variety is the spice of life, this position rates somewhere around ghost pepper on the Scoville scale (855,000 – 1,463,000 Scoville Heat Units).
In a single day the AspenCat Support Associate might work with a school in Julesburg, a public library in Ouray, a community college in Lamar, or Department of Corrections library in Buena Vista. Helping those libraries might include testing a problem with their circulation, changing the wording on an overdue notice, creating a report to provide meaningful data, customizing the patron catalog, or about 1,000 other things. Because CLiC’s mission is to serve Colorado libraries, residence in the state of Colorado and weekend availability are required for this remote position.
Enjoying puzzle solving is key, but so is providing friendly and helpful customer service. It is hard to get bored on the job when there is always a new challenge. The position still requires someone that can work on a high focus, intensively detailed task.
Another perk to the job is getting to work with an endless cornucopia of talented, enthusiastic, and friendly people in Colorado. Whether it be the rest of the AspenCat team, the larger CLiC staff, and especially all the hard-working staff running libraries all over Colorado, there is not a better group of professionals to surround yourself with.
Our organization provides a humane and supportive work environment, rich in experiential opportunities for people who are eager to learn, and who want to do work that matters to the world. If all that Scoville heat sounds intriguing, we may be a good fit for you.
