Human Resources (HR) will review your application to make sure you are eligible and meet all the job qualifications, and will place applicants into quality categories: Not qualified, Minimally qualified, Highest qualified, etc. You are ranked into these categories based on the duration and the degree of experience that your résumé demonstrates in the competencies identified in the vacancy announcement and applicant questionnaire. After HR reviews all applications, they send the highest qualified applicants to the hiring official-these applicants will see a Referred status in their application status. All other applicants (not being considered) will see a Not Referred status. The hiring official will review the "highest qualified" applications and select applicants to interview based on agency policy. The hiring manager will contact applicants to schedule interviews, which can include a panel, in-person interviews, phone interviews, and multiple rounds of interviews (e.g. a phone interview then an in-person interview).

OSU Food Drive - Halfway there!
by Cohen, Jennifer 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

We are already halfway through the food drive and have had some amazing fundraisers thanks to you! So far, not including payroll contributions, BEE has collected enough to provide over 1800 meals to the local community. A huge thank you to the Ecological Engineering Student Society for their donations from their successful plant sale on Wednesday and to all the faculty and staff who have donated for the cookie decorating, hot drink bar, PB&J and flea market (going on next week). We are still happy to take any contributions you might have for our flea market/art sale and RAFFLE, both taking place next week. We also have a box in the front office to collect non-perishable food items. Please remember we can't take glass. We couldn't do all this without the generous donations from New Morning Bakery so if you're out and about, please show them some love. They donate hundreds of cookies and tons of loaves of bread to help us raise these funds. Did you know that in Oregon, 52,000 children are living in families experiencing extreme poverty? Nothing good happens when you are hungry. Hunger negatively impacts learning, health, and productivity. It affects children, the elderly, and adults. * Children who are hungry have more difficulty learning in school. * Childhood hunger and malnutrition can lead to irreversible health problems later in life. * Seniors and people with medical issues can struggle to maintain their health if they are hungry or malnourished. Donations made during the Food Drive will help fight against these effects. Just a reminder that payroll contributions are still the best way to raise funds! You can do this via a paper or online form: https://communications.oregonstate.edu/events/events-and-projects/osu-food-…<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunica…>. Thank you for your continued efforts in making this year's Food Drive a success!
