My OperaKite Runners Core Team Recruitment
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 6:53:00 PM
Dear friends,
Another year has come upon us – Mai, Nam and Thư, this time flooded with your responses to our survey! We want to thank you and let you know that we really enjoyed reading your ideas and insights. Your words have been great inspiration for us to move forward to the next step of our plan: expanding our team.
Many of you have showed great interest and enthusiasm in the Kite Runners Project. You asked us how you could contribute, and it’s time we get back to you – not only with the opportunity to partner up, but also a chance to be a vital part of our team. We are offering you an opportunity to shape the Kite Runners the way you want it to be.
You may wonder whether you really want to do this, or whether it is the right decision for you. While we cannot tell you a plain “yes” or “no”, we can help you make an informed decision by providing more information. Yes, it will be time-consuming. Yes, it will require a high level of teamwork. Yes, we will be very demanding of you. And yes, it will be rewarding.
As a team, the three of us – Mai, Nam and Thư – have learned a lot from each other and from the process of putting things together. There has been up and down time. We got really excited about our ideas, we talked in great length about what we want to achieve, we spammed our own discussion board with details and how-tos, we shared our knowledge and network of friends. We also encountered many seemingly-impossible difficulties, we disagreed on many details, we had intervals of time without any progress or communication. But in the end, we are proud of our work so far and we think the experience is indeed worthwhile. So, if you are enthusiastic about our mission, are open to learning and working with various people from different backgrounds, and are willing to invest your time and effort, we encourage you to apply for us.
We are sure you already know this, but the development of a newspaper is not just about journalism. In fact, the development of a newspaper has very little to do with journalism; instead it’s about organizing, fund-raising, legalizing, advertising, and PR-ing. A large number of personnel and a wide range of skills are needed to take care of every aspect of this process; and therefore, no matter what your strengths and weaknesses are, there is always something you can do and be good at. Not good at writing? You don’t have to be. Don’t think you are good or experienced enough? While it is real work with real result, it is also a learning process; and we are interested in giving this learning opportunity to those most benefited by it. We are willing to help you, as we are certain we will need help from you too.

Best Regards,
The Kite Runners
