I finally finished the newsletter I needed to do for work. So I am doing a celebratory bump.

Congrats. I just got official confirmation from my dean that my international exchange application for next semester has been approved, so I will do a celebratory bump as well.

Congratulations. Since I finished my last midterm today, I'll join in the celebratory bumping.

[Faramir Kenobi]

I like all this celebrating we've got going... maybe it'll partially mitigate my horrendous mood earlier in the week for the prospective applicants.

[Lars Jorgens]

Because I ask questions?

Because you inquire.

Congratulations. Since I finished my last midterm today, I'll join in the celebratory bumping.

Three more days, and my finals would be over. Count me in.

[Thaliak]

Because you inquire.

Okay.

Three more days, and my finals would be over. Count me in.

Awesome. Good luck.

AUT looks like he'll be a good member. I hope I'm not scaring him away by asking too many questions.

[spoofmaniac]

I always send my tech on time. Yeah...

[Lars Jorgens]

Awesome. Good luck.

Let him know that. I'm sure he won't mind going through the questions if he knows he's doing good.

I always send my tech on time. Yeah...

Saweet...?

Nah, I bet he's enjoying the questions. The same goes for anyone who lasts that long into the interview and still writes substantial responses.

It's still a good to idea to give them positive feedback and let them know the interview will soon end. This is especially true of AUT, who sat through a long application before he applied to us.

Heh. At least you weren't in any 3x3s.

[Lars Jorgens]

Heh. At least you weren't in any 3x3s.

Those can be quite a pickle sometimes.

Heh. I would agree with you, and I'm no advocate of getting into a frosty "we ask, you answer, deal with it now and we can be friends later" mode. I like the tone your interviews take. That said, I stand by my original point: I doubt whether folks mind the process. I have more thoughts on this, but I'm going to take them elsewhere at a later time when I'm not supposed to be working.

At any rate, two applications?! This guy is persistent. I probably would have quit after the first one.

Those can be quite a pickle sometimes.

Heh. Too true.

[Faramir Kenobi]

This would be the first time in my life I've ever posted immediately after myself. I've belonged to boards that don't allow "double posting" for too long, and my inner moderator is screaming at me.

Thanks.

That said, I stand by my original point: I doubt whether folks mind the process.

We've had one applicant say they prefer not to answer questions, one ask why we ask so much, and at least two withdraw their application immediately after the first round of questions. How the others react I'm not sure.

In any case, I'd best get my work done so I can respond to the applications.

If I remember correctly, the mods have let members of Vanguard and Ragnarok get away with eleven bumps in a row. Having said that, I'll admit it took me some getting used to. I still try to avoid bumping unless the thread has idled for four hours or fallen below tenth place.

The rule is one bump per hour. If you are going to be a regular here, you should get used to multi-posting and talking to yourself. We have all gone through it lots of times, am I right Thaliak?

[Faramir Kenobi]

you should get used to multi-posting and talking to yourself.

I shouldn't have any problem with talking to myself. My sister tells me I do it in my sleep. My dentist tells me I did it in the middle of getting my wisdom teeth pulled. I can say with certainty that I do it while I'm driving.

[Lars Jorgens]

Uppity up.

[spoofmaniac]

Finally did something useful as shield today!
