????凱瑟琳?莫納漢說：“盡管這么說聽起來挺傻的,，但我確實(shí)相信自己生來就要從事和孩子有關(guān)的工作,。”

????當(dāng)她在位于波士頓保誠(chéng)中心（Prudential Center）的Bright Horizons公司幼教中心面試時(shí),，正是這份熱情彌補(bǔ)了她經(jīng)驗(yàn)的不足,。

????莫納漢的姐姐也是Bright Horizons公司的員工，對(duì)這家公司評(píng)價(jià)很高,。莫納漢在公司的招聘門戶上投了簡(jiǎn)歷,，把姐姐列為了推薦人。那時(shí)她在一家社教中心工作,，主要是幫6到7歲的孩子放學(xué)后輔導(dǎo)作業(yè),，這份工作她從高中畢業(yè)起就一直在做。

????一個(gè)公司招聘人員接受了莫納漢的工作申請(qǐng),，隨后讓她和保誠(chéng)中心的Bright Horizons的總監(jiān)接觸,，當(dāng)時(shí)這家公司正在招聘。面試了兩次,，在電話邊等了兩天后,，2008年初，莫納漢得到了這份工作,。她說：“我老板說了,，雇我主要是沖著我的態(tài)度，而不是經(jīng)驗(yàn),?！比肼毩旰螅{漢現(xiàn)在接受的培訓(xùn)已經(jīng)能和她熱情的天性相匹配了,。她好幾周晚上都去上Bright Horizon贊助的課程,，獲得了早教證書。隨后在總監(jiān)的督促下,，她又獲得了專業(yè)幼師資格證書（Child Development Associate certificate）,，這讓她當(dāng)上了主導(dǎo)教師——也就是她現(xiàn)在的崗位,。

????這些夜校課程在她每次工作時(shí)都能派上用場(chǎng)。她說：“走進(jìn)教室大門,，聽到孩子們大聲喊我的名字,，這是我一天中最開心的時(shí)候。他們緊緊抱著我的腿,，就像小螞蝗一樣,。”（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????"As silly as it sounds," Kathryn Monahan says, "I believe I was born to work with children."

????It's that passion that made up for Monahan's lack of experience when she interviewed at the Bright Horizons childcare center in Boston's Prudential Center.

????Monahan's sister is also a Bright Horizons employee and had spoken highly of the company. Monahan applied to the company's general job portal, listing her sister as a reference. At the time she was working at a social center helping kids ages 6 to 7 after school with homework, a job she'd held since graduating high school.

????A company recruiter received Monahan's application and put her in touch with the director of the Prudential Center Bright Horizons, which was hiring. It took two interviews and two days of waiting by the phone in early 2008 for Monahan to land the job. "My boss says she hired me more for my attitude than my experience," she says.

????And six years later, Monahan now has the training to match her enthusiastic nature. She earned her early education certificate by taking Bright Horizon-sponsored classes in the evenings for several weeks. She then earned her Child Development Associate certificate at the urging of her director, which qualified her for a lead teacher role—a job she now holds.

????Those evening classes pay off every time she goes to work. "Walking through the door and hearing the kids shout my name is the best part of my day," she says. "They're like leeches on my legs."???
