Re: UT Resumes

Too late with your spreadsheet. The instructions that we got from Donna were
that I should review the resumes, pass them to Brent for his review, and then
on to Causey for his review. Considering our schedules and the large number
of resumes to review, that would have been an impossible task to complete by
Thursday at noon. I received the resumes after lunch on Tuesday, just before
leaving for the airport to catch the plane for Oklahoma. I asked Patti to
make a copy of the packet for Brent, and I knew that Rick would not want to
take the time to review the resumes without some organization and screening
first. I reviewed as many of the resumes as I could on the plane on the way
back to Houston today (all of the liberal arts resumes and about one third of
the business resumes) and Brent reviewed them last night after his training
class. We got those to Rick today by noon, as he was leaving the office. I
believe that Rick will review what Brent and I put together and then will
pass the resumes along to you. Since you only e:mailed your spreadsheet this
morning after Brent and I had done our reviews, you will have to
cross-reference the info on the spreadsheet with the selected resumes.

Brent and I would have appreciated some organization and screening of the
resumes as well. I would suggest that in the future that your team should
make copies of the resumes for everyone that you would like to have doing the
review. The plan of passing them from one person to another is not
practical, and I should not have had to make the copies for Brent. If you
are going to ask VP's and MD's to help in this process in a very short time
frame, then I would suggest that you use their time wisely. If someone from
you team had organized the resumes into three groups by GPA's or majors, that
would have given us a good starting point, instead of a jumble of resumes.
Two page resumes were not stapled together and there were a number of resumes
of MBA's included, which should be considered for Associates interviews, not
Analysts interviews. Please give us organized information to react to, not
simply a jumble of data that we have to weed through. All of us want to
participate and to be as involved as possible in the recruiting process, but
we need to be able to rely on the Program for some basic administrative and
organizational work.

I send these suggestions with the intent of constantly bettering the program
and with the intent of helping you to succeed in your role, not being
critical. I hope that you will take these suggestions in that light.

Brent and I (and I am sure Hunter, too) would have appreciated
