JOBS AT MODULIGHTOR


CUSTOMER SERVICE /LIGHTING SALES/ DATA ENTRY P/T TECHNICIAN ( BUILD LIGHTING FIXTURES)

THE HUGE RESPONSE - HUNDERDS OF APPLICATIONS- FOR ABOVE OPENINGS AT MODULIGHTOR - WAS SYMPHATHETIC (BUT ALSO SCARY) : I HAVE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES WHEN I CAME FRESH FROM B-SCHOOL TO AMERICA.

WITH THE PRESSING DUTIES OF THE DAY I SIMPLY WAS NOT ABLE TO EXAMINE ALL APPLICATIONS OR EVEN RESPOND TO THEM! I AM SORRY. ALSO MANY APPLICANTS SIMPLY SEEMED TO ‘NEED A JOB' AND I COULD NOT FIND THE FITTING AND NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS. I THEREFORE THOUGHT OF ANOTHER APPROACH: DEFINE THE JOB DESCRIPTION CLOSER SO THAT CANDIDATES GET A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM THEM AND OF WHAT QUALIFICATIONS GENERALLY AND SPECIFICALLY ARE REQUIRED.

MODULIGHTOR WAS FORMED IN THE MID SEVENTIES WITH THE HELP OF THE NOW LEGENDARY 20TH CENTURY ARCHIECT PAUL RUDOLPH, WHO HAD HIS OWN IDEAS AS HOW LIGHTING SHOULD BE ( A PROFILE CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.PAULRUDOLPHFOUNDATION.ORG "BACKGROUNDER 246 EAST 58 STREET") .
A GOOD COMPANY ‘IS' NOT, IT IS A RESULT ' WORKED FOR'!

AN ARCHITECT CLIENT OF US RECENTLY TOLD ME THAT ‘MODULIGHTOR IS- STILL- THE BEST OF WHAT IS AROUND IN LIGHTING', WHICH PLEASED ME AND THE OTHER ‘MODULIGHTORS' .
WILLIAM BLITZER - THIRD GENERATION SPEARHEAD - OF THE HUGELY SUCCESSFUL ‘LIGHTOLIER' ( WITH SALES IN THE BILLIONS) IS JOINING US ON A P/T BASE - WITH THE IDEA TO BRING NEW EXITING PRODUCT THAT IS POSSIBLE- WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES ‘TO LIGHT' !
A GREAT COMPLEMENT TO MODULIGHTOR!
I AM - AS THE FOUNDER AND OWNER OF MODULIGHTOR- NOW OVER 60. I WILL BE SEEKING LESS INVOLVEMENT IN OPERATIONS AND MORE INVOLVEMENT WITH IDEAS AND GROWTH: MODULIGHTOR IS OCCUPYING THE WHOLE BUILDING AT 246 EAST 58 STREET AND WE NEED TO EXPAND BUSINESS!
WE GOT APPLICATIONS OF EXPERIENCED TALENT BUT NEED TO LIMIT OURSELVES TO CANDIDATES THAT ARE WILLING TO LIMIT THE APPETITE FOR RENUMERATION FOR THE BASE SALARY IN THE THIRTIES. READ: NOT VASTLY EXPERIENCED PERSONS ARE NEEDED, BUT INTERMEDIARY TALENT WITH UPSIDE POTENTIAL.

ASKED FOR SALARIES TOWARDS SIX DIGIT FIGURES ARE SIMPLY NOT DOABLE OR AFFORDABLE FOR US ( AND IN 2 CASES DID NOT WORK OUT , ANYWAY)!
WHAT WE OFFER, HOWEVER, IS PROFIT SHARING: AFTER CERTAIN GOALS ARE REACHED, ‘THE FRUIT OF THE LABOUR IS' IS SHARED AMONG THE PLAYERS, AS PRODUCTION IS RENUMERATED FOR PRODUCTIVITY.

WHAT ALL POSITIONS REQUIRE :
TASK RELATED INTELLIGENCE, STRONG WILLINGNESS, RESPONSIBILITY, INTEGRITY, HARD WORKER( SOMEONE WHO SEES THE WORK) , TEAM PLAYERS, FRIENDLINESS , EFFICIENCY, PRAGMATIC ATTITUDE, HONESTY, FRUGALITY, EXACTITUDE, COMMON SENSE, RELIABILITY AND ‘TOGETHERNESS' ARE NEEDED.

LIGHTING SALES/CUSTOMER SERVICE:
OUTGOING, FRIENDLY AND ENERGETIC PERSONALITY WITH STRONG SENSE FOR ACCURACY AND DETAILS. TECHNICAL UNDERSTANDING AND CONTACTS TO THE TRADE ARE PLUSES (ARCHITECTS, INTERIOR DESIGNERS, LIGHTING DESIGNERS).
PERSON NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO ‘BE ON TOP' OF ACCOUNTS, DELIVERY SCHEDULES, STRONG ‘COMMUNICATOR' AND ‘FOLLOW -UPPER'. FLAIR FOR MARKETING ACTIVITIES AND ‘PEOPLE PERSON' ( WE A VIVID SCHEDULE WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL COMMUNITY: THE BUILDING- DESIGNED BY PAUL RUDOLPH- HAS BECOME A DESTINATION FOR DESIGN AFFICIONADOS). COMPUTER LITERACITY IS MUST. OR IN BRIEF: A VERY LIKEABLE, ACCOUNTABLE PERSON.

ADDITIONAL JOB DESCRIPTION THOUGHTS (AUGUST 05).
A COLLECTION OF FURTHER BLITZES THAT I PUT DOWN ON PAPER NAPKINS ETC. THE OWNER'S HEART IS WITH THE COMPANY AND HE WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT CONTINUE TO FLOURISH. I THOUGHT CANDIDATES SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE CULTURE AT MODULIGHTOR.

IN ADDITION TO WHAT WAS SAID BEFORE-LIKE ALL COMPLEXITIES IN LIFE- ADDITIONAL QUALITIES THAT THE CANDIDATE(S)IDEALLY SHOULD HAVE: A SENSE FOR "DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN AN APPROPRIATE TIME" "INTEGRITY, MUTUAL HONESTY, PERSONAL AND TEAM RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE 'THINGS' DONE. WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE EMPLOYEES HERE WITHOUT THAT SENSE OF DUTY. WHILE NOBODY IS PERFECT-(EW ( OWNER) IS FRONT LINE, BUT NONETHELESS HAS ACHIEVED QUITE SOMETHING)- WE WILL NOT ALLOW PEOPLE HERE WITH THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT LEAD TO MY ACCIDENT IN JANUARY."

"THE COMPANY WANTS TO REWARD THE EMPLOYEES IN ATTITUDE AND COMPENSATION FOR THEIR EFFORTS. AS A GOOD OLD FRIEND SAID: THE BEST SITUATION IS WHEN BOTH PARTIES CAN WIN! PAUL RUDOLPH'S LIGHTING CONCEPT IS A WINNER. BUT IT REQUIRES -AND IS NOT EASY- THE CORRECT EMPLOYEES TO EXECUTE."

"MEASURE OF QUALITY OF AN EMPLOYEE AND THE TEAM IS TO SUPPLY THE CUSTOMER WITH A GOOD PRODUCT THAT LEADS TO A GOOD PROJECT ( OUR CLIENTS ARE DEPENDENT ON QUALITY COMING FROM THE SUPPLIERS AS WE ARE DEPENDENT ON QUALITY EMPLOYEES,- WHICH INVOLVES THEIR THINKING, PRECISION; MANY QUESTIONS AND A 'STAND BACK ATTITUDE: IS IT GOOD ?"IS REQUIRED. 'YOU DID NOT TELL ME THAT!' IS A NO ANSWER."
"SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF COMPANIES IS DIRECTLY INTERRELATED WITH QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION."

"ABSOLUTE NO'S: NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS OR NOT REPORTING TO EW OR PERSON IN CHARGE, WHEN INSTRUCTIONS CANNOT BE FULFILLED. I WILL NOT BE-ANYMORE-'SHORT-FUSED AND RAGING'. I JUST TERMINATE 'WITH CAUSE'. MY HEART ATTACK IS NOT IN MY BUSINESS PLAN". "TRUTH TELLING RECORD REQUIREMENT: AAA(IF NOT, WILL SHOW ONE OR THE OTHER WAY IN YOUR REFERENCE RECORDS).ANY HUMAN BEING MAKES MISTAKES AND IS ALLOWED TO DO SO AND AD-MITTING THEM IS NOT A MISTAKE. VERY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE: PLENTY OF MISTAKES IN THEIR LIFE." "SITUATION NOW(AUGUST 05): OPERATIONS RUN BY TOM MCCARTHY(PRODUCTION) OUR FORMER TOOL AND DIE MAKER (WHOM I KNOW 25 YEARS( AND STILL TALK TO!)) AND KEN, A YOUNG, NICE AND TALENTED IT MAN."

"THE COMPANY WANTS TO TREAT EMPLOYEES -TO A POINT- LIKE 'CO-OWNERS' BUT IT REQUIRES THEM TO BE ORGANIZED, EXACTING ( MINUTEOUS), MOTIVATED AND RESPONSIBLE." "THE EVER EXPANDING COMPUTER/TECHNOLOGIES WILL REQUIRE A 'YOUNGISH/UP-TO-DATE 'TECHY'". "A NOTE ABOUT THE OWNER: STRONG WILLED WITH ACHIEVEMENTS TO SHOW, CREATIVE,IMAGINATIVE, A TYPICAL 'LEFT HAND SIDE BRAIN 'EYE' PERSON'; BUT NOT A GOOD ADMINISTRATOR OR 'PAPER MAN', & PRACTICALLY NOT WELL ORGANIZED; BUT WILLING TO PAY FOR PEOPLE WITH THESE COMPLEMENTARY AND NEEDED TALENTS. MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITIES OF THE PERSON -WHOM WE GROOME TO LEAD-: A GOOD BUSINESS JUDGMENT SENSE WITH A DYNAMIC " OPPORTUNITIES, KINDLING " SPIRIT. EW'S INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES HAVE GROWN ALSO INTO TO FURTHERING OF GROWTH OF MODULIGHTOR, A "COLLECTIONS GALLERY" AND INTO THE "PAUL RUDOLPH FOUNDATION" WHICH HE WANTS TO NOURISH AND SEE THAT THEIR VALIDITY CAN DEVELOP, TOO. TOP PRIORITY : A TEAM THAT WORKS WELL TOGETHER, IS INTELLIGENT, AND FEELS THAT 'THEY' ARE IN A WORTHWHILE SPOT & APPRECIATED."

DATA ENTRY P/T
PERSON OUGHT TO BE EFFICIENT AND WELL ORGANIZED AND MUST BE COMPUTER LITERATE ( QUICK BOOKS PRO, EXCELL, WORD ETC.) . NEEDS TO UPDATE 5-6 ACCOUNTS. PERSON WILL BE HANDLING ALSO ‘COLLECTIONS GALLERY' A SECOND BUSINESS THAT EVOLVED ( WEBSURFING, LABELLING TEC.).

FIXTURE MAKER
PERSON MUST BE ABLE TO WORK WELL WITH HIS HANDS ( AND HEAD) AND HAVE GOOD FINGER DEXTERITY. PRODUCTS ON OUR WEBSITE ( WWW.MODULIGHTOR.COM) REPRESENTS SOME VERSIONS OF WHAT THE PERSON WILL CREATE. MUST BE EXACTING AND HAVE A LOT OF COMMON SENSE AND BE A STEADY WORKER.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: MODULIGHTOR ‘MADE IT' FROM SIMPLE BEGINNINGS. IT ESPECIALLY GREW IN THE LAST 15 YEARS SINCE WE OCCUPY 246 EAST 58 STREET ( 1990). AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, RADEK, RAN OPERATIONS OF MODULIGHTOR BUT LAST YEAR HE DECIDED TO JOIN HIS FAMILY BUSINESS IN POLAND. THIS SPRING WE UNDERTOOK FURTHER RESTRUCTURING WHICH OPENED UP THE 3 POSITIONS. AN- ALMOST READY-BROCHURE WILL HOPEFULLY BRING US THE REQUIRED NEW BUSINESS.

I HOPE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO BRINGS MODULIGHTOR INTO THE SECOND GENERATION.
CUSTOM LIGHTING CAN BE FOR THE RIGHT CANDIDATE CREATIVE AND FULFILLING.

WE HAVE AN ESTABLISHED WAY TO DO BUSINESS AND HAVE FIRM COMPANY POLICIES.

WHEN YOU ARE FURTHER INTERESTED, LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN SO FAR AND FEEL STRONGLY THAT YOU ARE QUALIFIED FOR ANY OF THE POSITIONS :

WHY DO YOU NOT E-MAIL ME AT ernst@modulightor.com.
