We received 102 applications by last Friday’s deadline for Sun’s worldwide Engineering mentoring program, SEED. The SEED Established Staff term will run 15 January – 15 June 2007. All application materials were due 24 November 2006.
79 applications were complete. Tanya Jankot and I spent today checking, sorting, and
making updates based on emails. 25 applicants were disqualified for being too junior or
for not turning in their materials on time. I have sent many emails today returning
late applications, recommendations, and resumes and discouraging further submissions
since we do not accept materials after the deadline.
The selection decisions will be announced tomorrow afternoon. We expect to pick about
40 Established Staff term participants. I have been reading application forms and
letters since Friday. It will be very hard to pick from such an
impressively qualified group.
