  About Teach For America
  Teach For America is the national corps of top college graduates and professionals who commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders in the effort to expand educational opportunity. Our mission is to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting the nation's most promising future leaders in the effort.
  
  
  At the start of the 2011-2012 school year, more than 9,000 first- and second-year Teach For America corps members began teaching in 43 regions across the United States.  Since 1990, Teach For America corps members have reached more than three million students.  Nearly 24,000 Teach For America alumni are working in education and many other fields, where they continue to advocate for students and families in low-income communities.  While only one in six corps members was interested in the teaching profession before joining Teach For America, nearly two-thirds of its alumni remain in the field of education.
  
  
  Teach For America's culture and work is grounded in and guided by a deep commitment to pursuing true transformational change for students growing up in low-income communities. It is a leadership development organization - committed to fostering staff members, corps members and alumni who establish a clear and bold vision for the future, set measurable and ambitious goals, work purposefully and strategically to achieve that vision, always operate with a deep sense of possibility and with perseverance, and define broadly what is within its control to solve. It is an organization committed to its people, to diversity and inclusion, and to operating with respect and humility toward the other important people and organizations working to advance the cause of educational excellence for all children.
  
  
  90% of the students our corps members teach are African American and Latino and come from low-income backgrounds. Since the academic achievement gap in our country is largely drawn along lines of race and class, we know that it's particularly important to foster the leadership of individuals - at all levels - who share the racial and economic backgrounds of our students. Our staff is diverse and we are thrilled to have staff members representing all racial backgrounds working here. For more information about our commitment to diversity, visit: http://www.teachforamerica.org/our-organization/diversity    
  
  
  We are a high-growth, outcomes-oriented organization, with a $220 million budget and over 1,500 staff. In 2011 and 2012, we were named a Fortune 100 Best Company to Work For. We operate in an entrepreneurial environment, maintain focus on quantitative measures, and are committed to continuous improvement.

• Hettema & Bergsten: iOS Developer
  

  Location: Anywhere
  URL: http://hettemabergsten.com/

  What did you do when Steve introduced the iPhone back in '07?
  
  
  1. You grabbed your razr and muttered "I will never leave you my precious"
  
  
  2. Your jaw hit the floor, you grabbed you camping gear and you camped out at the nearest apple store for a couple of weeks. 
  
  
  3. You instantly started looking for ways to get your programs on that device
  
  
  
  
  If you answered 2 and/or 3 then you're a pretty cool cat (no matter what those retarded Samsung ads are trying to tell you). 
  
  
   
  
  
  When you develop software for the iPhone you want to:
  
  
  1. Do a little tiny and obscure part of the app so you can hide just in case something goes wrong. 
  
  
  2. Be involved in the entire life cycle and have your opinions implemented. 
  
  
  3. Be the main driver behind the apps development and success. 
  
  
  
  
  If you answered 2 and/or 3 then you're probably quite confident (as we believe you should be). 
   
  
  
  What motivates you the most?
  
  
  1. Money
  
  
  2. Consistent progress
  
  
  3. Fun
  
  
  
  
  If you answered 1, then we wish you a nice and prosperous career on wall street surrounded by people with loads of shit but miserable lives. We believe that money is important but it never is our main driver, after all, if you absolutely love what you do how can it be work?
  
  
  So who are we?
  
  
  We are a team of distributed workaholics who consistently try to limit work like chores. We live to have fun and leave an impact on the world and we don't pull our punches for anyone. 
  
  
  Everybody in our team works from wherever they want and nobody even remembers what office hours or a cubicle actually are. We believe in working smart and we constantly experiment and push each other forward.
  
  
  Our team is looking for a seriously experienced and ambitious Mac/iOS developer. Somebody who will take a project and run with it, nurturing it from idea into MVP in no time flat whilst consistently trying to prove assumptions and improve experiences. 
  
  
  
  
  If this is you we ask you to impress us in whatever way you feel is impressive. If this works out we will give you a project that will run about a month. If you nail that we'll make you a full time offer. 
  
  
  Cheers,
  The freaks at Hettema & Bergsten
