  • Talk to Benedict about how many interns we can have.
  • Talk to Kim to get the intern Google Forms application promoted.
  • Collect applications from the big spreadsheet
  • Make sure the programming test is up to date.
  • Talk to Kim to get her to administer the programming test to them. Make sure they have enough time to complete it.
  • Grade the results using a rubric. Sum across questions and evaluators and make a shortlist of who to interview.
  • Prepare a set of interview questions appropriate to the interview timeslot length. The stock questions we use are slightly too long for a half-hour interview.
  • Create an interview panel from Toil and any other projects hiring.
  • Talk to Kim to get her to schedule the interviews with the panel. Make sure the students get a copy of the questions slightly before the interview starts, so they are not shocked.
  • Conduct the interviews.
  • Evaluate the interview notes. Sum across raters and make a shortlist per project of who to hire.
  • Draft interns to projects until out of good candidates or money.
  • Talk to Nadine and Greta to get FOPAL codes from which to pay the interns, and to confirm funding actually is available for the number of interns you want.
  • Complete the form template at https://businessoffice.soe.ucsc.edu/student-employment-information and send it to Denise Goss. Steal liberally from the previous year's form.
