104 SEED Mentoring Program Applications

The application deadline for SEED's Worldwide Established Staff, January - July, 2008 term was last Friday (16 November). The rough figures are: 104 Sun Engineering staff members applied; 86 of those completed their applications. The next step is for HR (Human Resources) to verify titles, grade levels, performance ratings, etc. Some applicants may be disqualified as a result of HR's review. Tanya Jankot and I am reading the applications now. The SEED Selection Committee meets on 28 November 2007. We expect to pick about 40 participants. I will announce final selections on 28 November.

At present, 18 of the applicants are not qualified, mostly because their materials appear incomplete. We may find some these are complete after we sort through all of the submissions (if, for example, a letter was submitted under the wrong SunID). Most who are not qualified did not have a complete application (required letters missing, for example) or were too junior for this term (meaning they are not yet at the global equivalent of U.S. job grades 9, and/or they will have been with Sun fewer than 2 years as of January 2008).
