Standard Management - Hiring Scenario #2

You have been left as Chief of Hiring while your Chief Executive is away. Here is what your chief said before they went away.

Chief Executive wrote:

Our recent programming manager left so we are looking for a new one. Make sure that anyone that you hire for this role has experience. Also, we are looking for two programmers and one artist. You do not have to fill all this vacancies but don't unnecessarily turn applicants away. Good Luck

Soon after your Chief Executive left, you are faced with many applicants. You must decide if they are accepted, what job they are accepted as (you may want to change this from what they first wanted, hint) and justification in some detail.

Username: FrostyNight6
Time Using Scratch: 9 months
Position: Programmer

Any questions? Just ask!

Okay. I will break this down a bit… and color-code it.

I believe Joe123 should be a programmer. While he wishes to be a manager, he lacks the skills needed to effectively be a manager. However, I would say:

Your application has been considered and handled. However, due to your inexperience in collaboration, we have decided, for the time being, that you will be a programmer and not a manager. You may, however, get this rank in the future, if you prove to be good at it!

He should be rejected. I would say:

I am sorry, but you seemed unable to fill out half the application, and thus, I find it hard to believe that you will work effectively on the collab. You have been rejected for these reasons.

I believe FrostyNight6 should be programming manager. I would say:

Thank you for the application. We have considered your requests, and due to your higher skills in programming, we have decided to make you a programming manager.

I believe PaintyHappy should be artist. There is no more I can say.

VectorTractor should be an Artist-In-Training or something of the like. While he has good skills, PaintyHappy is more experienced in collaboration.

That seems like quite a blunt explanation. Maybe you should revise this before Co marks it?

I never specialized in being subtle… I just hoped I could beat enough of their messed up brains out of their head to make them leave me alone…

You're over-exaggerating, it takes about 10 minutes to finish that task and its been months. There's no point of signing up to a course you can't be involved in.

It doesn't take ten minutes to write a chapter book, and apparently that's the only form that a story can be told in.

I understood it. So if I decide to write a story with the structure of a poem, I will then have to write it in the structure of a story, and you said that “A story is separated into chapters under which you use to divulge into your plot,” which means that then I'd have to write a chapter book, and that could take months.

I'm still on chapter 1 of my novel, and it's been 3 months.

I didn't say it had to be in chapter book format. I apologise for the misunderstanding but, from my perspective, I implied that - usually - books are written in chapter format but they are sometimes written in paragraphs.

No one said you had to write it in chapter book form. There are what, 5 or 6 other options?

Comeback time? Maybe?
