The application form for SEED’s second EMEA term (for Tel Aviv and
St. Petersburg) is now disabled. There were 45 application forms
received: 32 from Russia and 13 from Israel. All of the applicants
are in the Software Group. 9 of the applicants had applied to SEED
in a prior term.
All other application materials are due 6 February (California time):
that is when the required resume and letters of recommendation must be
submitted. I will announce SEED’s selection decision on 9 February. The order
in which the documents arrive does not matter. No action is taken until
the deadline for submission has passed. Human Resources is now verifying
application information (performance ratings, hire date, title and grade
level, etc.). Applications which are incomplete or are found to contain
deliberate misrepresentations are eliminated from consideration.
We had a fascinating trip to Russia and Israel but it is pleasant to
be back in rainy California where the jasmine vines and
almond trees are blooming. John and I have just signed the contract
to buy a 1916 rail train caboose (my new office!) and we have
made arrangements to have a crane and trucking company move
Western
Pacific 688 next week from the
Golden Gate Railroad Museum in
San Francisco to a nearby lot for storage here in San Jose. We will be
spending all of our spare time during the next few months getting our
swimming pool filled in and turned into a very very short rail line.
