Commando recruitment

The Department is in search of our next support team--our elite commando unit.  For the last two years or so, the team was composed of Erin, Krizia, Justin, and Kate for the ACM ICPC and Max and April for the documentation requirements.  These kids have spoiled us in that they were always there and we could always count on them.  Now, the six of them are graduating and we have a succession problem.

They have tried to recruit their heirs.  Unfortunately, the other kids are intimidated by the thought of working with the faculty.  They say we're scary--duh?!?

It looks like what is needed is beyond word-of-mouth.  I'm sending out a cattle call on Monday asking for applicants for the esteemed position of departmental commando.  I hope people respond.

Flunk them all and make them stay another year. :-)

No I guess that probably would not work. Sometimes it is hard to see the good ones graduate and leave but they have to do it. They should be able to help you find their replacements for you. The least they could do is put in a good word about the oppertunity they have had to learn and grow. Hiring companies like to see that sort of work expreience from new graduates as well so that is a plus.

Your faculty doesn't scare me but then I am half a world away. Or is the whole world in the way? Depends on how you look at it I guess. :-)

"Flunk them all and make them stay another year. :-) "

Hahaha! I actually thought of that but there would be pesky legal, moral, and ethical issues to deal with.
