Probably just brings back bad memories? In any case, that's no excuse to do it but rather an excuse not to do it.... said:

I know! I have *no* idea of where the building is.. And we've been there two years- isnt that pathetic?!
Question: Did you guys send her an email via your uni account? Or other account (hotmail/g-mail etc)?

Hey, when's your interview?... said:congrats Rob

Mine's 2:30 on the Thursday 25th.
If you're around at that time, tell me, because I want to attach a face to your name
In any case, I don't think there's anything to congratulate- I mean, it's only an interview, and I doubt they'll turn anybody down.
I found the Goodman Fielder building, top right of map: http://www.bgo.mq.edu.au/map/zone3.jpgMaryJane said:
I don't remember that building, and I don't know particularly well where it is...
I sent her an email via uni account, I usually do that with uni-related stuff.
Anyway. Woot!
Rob "AskMe" Pwaryuex.

...Were you a mentor last year, Pwar? I believe this email was only directed at mentorees, and even then only a random sampling of them...PwarYuex said:

How could I have possibly been a mentor last year?Skittled said:

My point exactly: MQ's marketing department are only asking for previous mentors to apply. I've personally not got a problem with you applying, but I think it's a pretty major hurdle for you to cross jump, not having the experience they're specifically asking for: The marketing dept advertised only to people who have been mentors in the past, not to the university as a whole, which to me seems to indicate that they want people who have been mentors before.
It's not exactly a highly trained role, but by specifically only advertising to mentors, they're targeting those who have been through the training, and have led the kids around, have been told the things that are important to the new students, have been told the official answers to certain types of questions, etc etc...
I'm not questioning whether you could or not, just pointing out that they specifially asked for mentors, and I'd imagine there are reasons behind that.

i can see where Skittled is going
cos there are a lot of questions we mentors are not allow to answer, even if we know the answer or know a better alternative solutions..it is just the legal issue of it

Then why didn't you say that rather than asking a question you already knew the answer to?Skittled said:
Firstly, I wouldn't apply if I couldn't do the general open day stuff.
Secondly, I was invited to talk and sit around at a history stand / lecture and was told by two different academics that if I got the paying AskMe job, I could still do work with the history people for the two or three hours they need me.
Thirdly, 2 of my first-year friends have successfully applied for it, as has fornstar. Whilst that particular email was sent out to mentors, the jobs are not only going to them; as has been shown by my friends saying the jobs have been advertised by tutors and lecturers.
Lastly, the lady knows I'm a first year and hence haven't mentored before.

So defensive, aren't we, Pwar? Jesus.. Talk about volatile.
I asked the question because I wasn't sure. Thus, the question was posed to ensure that I didn't sit there and point out problems which didn't exist. Total waste of time and energy.
I wasn't criticising, just saw a discrepancy between what was being asked for, and past experience. It doesn't bother me in the slightest that you're applying, it was just that I saw that there were certain implied requirements, which from memory you hadn't met. If you've been offered the job some other way, or through other people, or by more people, or would have got the job anyway -- good for you, I was simply confirming if you were aware that those were --or, what I believed to be-- the requirements.
Good luck in your interview. Dude.

I'm not being defensive or volatile, I was just summarising all the reasons why I am applying to about 5 different people who have just said "The job's only for past mentors".Skittled said:So defensive, aren't we, Pwar? Jesus.. Talk about volatile.

You asking the question "were you a mentor last year" is what teachers and parents say when they're patronising you- "Oh, didn't you do your readings", "I asked Bob the question- is your name Bob?", "Do you think that swearing at me was a good idea, hmm?..." etc.
Of course I wasn't a mentor, I'm a first year. You knew that, so it would have been more productive to have said "I believe that particular email was directed at mentors, Rob".
I thought you were supposed to be nice? Where's MJ, I much prefer her.
