We have received 40 applications so far to Sun’s worldwide Engineering mentoring program, SEED. The SEED Established Staff term will run 15 January-16 June 2007.
All application materials are due this Friday, 24 November 2006.
12 of the 40 applications have been completed but 4 others have already been disqualified. All four were disqualified for being too junior for an Established Staff term, which requires among other criteria that participants be at Principal level (Sun U.S. grade 9 equivalent) or above.
I am holding two more phone-in presentation-and-question sessions this week: tomorrow at
5 p.m. and Wednesday at 8 a.m., Pacific time. Usually, the majority of applications come
in during the last three days. We are getting more applications from outside of the
western USA:
- Central USA: 7 [ 18% ]
- China: 2 [ 5% ]
- Czech Republic: 1 [ 2% ]
- EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa): 1 [ 2% ]
- Eastern USA: 3 [ 8% ]
- India: 2 [ 5% ]
- Russia: 1 [ 2% ]
- United Kingdom: 3 [ 8% ]
- Western USA: 19 [ 48% ]
- no response: 1 [ 2% ]
About a third of the applicants have applied to a prior SEED term as well. Tanya
Jankot is on vacation this week but we set everything up so that I can manage by
myself.
