The PreSEED mentoring pilot program application web pages are now
available for use. Application materials should be submitted as soon
as possible. The application period will close on 3 February 2008 (at
Midnight, Pacific Time), or as soon as 100 complete applications are received.
A complete web-based application includes 3-parts: the form, resume,
and Manager’s letter. The information in the application must pass
verification. The first fifty (50) complete and verified applicants will
be accepted into the PreSEED pilot program. For more on PreSEED, see
my
23 Jan 2008 blog entry.
It took me a while to get out this update. The San Francisco Bay Area
is in the middle of a week-long rainstorm. Today, a branch went through the
roof of our home internet provider’s transmitter. I finally gave up on them
and drove to Sun’s Campbell drop in center.
PreSEED’s four General Selection Criteria are:
- All Participants are in Engineering.
- Only regular Sun employees may participate.
- All annual performance ratings in the last 3 years must be “Sun
Standard” (a 2) or better. - Manager support is required.
PreSEED is a pilot of the SEED worldwide Engineering mentoring program.
