Feedback regarding the reps program in India

[pransh15 (Pranshu Khanna)]

Yes, the community will definitely talk about it, but they will talk to you about it. This opens the gates for open feedback. It’s essential if the applicant wants to learn and improve.

True, I do not disagree but I don’t think anyone can shake the fact that people will also talk among themselves, which is not okay. This is someone else’s vision and screening process, why should anyone have a right to correct them and comment on that? Nobody sat in my job interviews except me and the panel in front of me and that would/will be true for everyone since you don’t give interviews in front of everyone. It’s your screening process, it does not concern anybody else.

Here’s an example of a canvas that Open Leaders create along with their vision and invite feedback in the open. I think OL is proof enough that an applicant would benefit from open feedback and move towards losing insecurities.

Sure, I’ve been a Mentor for 3 Cohorts and I know that it works for people to get out of their shells that do work but we don’t need any contributors here. One’s conduct makes them a better Rep, not other Mozillians. It can work, but people will talk in a constructive manner to the applicant, in an ideal world. I don’t think that will follow through in a manner we hope.

Previous applications will act as a reference to new applicants and guide them better.

Will also lead to a lot of copying where we would rather have fresh ideas instead of the same idea in a new costume.

This is a question that applicants should ask themselves before applying.

That is a question in context with somebody else judging me by my ideas instead of my prior work.

I meant to say why should anybody be scared to endorse in the open.

Oh, sure. I don’t have anything against that. It can be endorsed in the open, I just don’t see where would one need this information or why would anyone care to get this information.

If everybody would love the world to know what they think about a reps applicant, there’s no harm in making the endorsements public.

Sure, you can ask the Rep as well, you know. Who endorsed you? Who vouched for you to become a Rep?

Improving application and on-boarding

This topic was created because the previous topic was too much for people to go through. A summary of the questions and answers provided Why are the reps application bugs private? What are the questions that are still open? Leaving this empty because rhetorical questions are being considered as literal questions by the people who are responding. Converting most of the questions into problems because the questions are actually about problems. What are the problems that we want to solve? Sele…

Improving Budget System

This topic was created because the previous topic was too much for people to go through. A summary of the questions and answers provided Why are the budget bugs not open? Can Mozillians start asking for budget/swag directly without having to go through someone else? What are the questions that are still open? Leaving this empty because rhetorical questions are being considered as literal questions by the people who are responding. Converting most of the questions into problems because the q…

Improving Program visibility and accountability

A summary of the questions and answers provided A couple of questions are included in the thread about improving application & onboarding and budget system.

Thanks @asdofindia, you might want to add these links to the first post?

We can keep this post open just to talk about Reps and India or close it and create a new one if there is feedback just about India (and not related with the previous three topics).

Cheers.

Hello,

I wonder why do you mention an interview? There is no interview required for the Reps application!

[pransh15 (Pranshu Khanna)]

Hello!

I meant to relate the Screening process to an interview.

[gaby2300]

Sorry, screening process to an interview?

What do you mean?

[pransh15 (Pranshu Khanna)]

I meant to compare screening process to the interview. It goes on to discuss your vision for a month as well, refine it, with the onboarding team.
