Every intern who Free Geek hires, whether they're an exploratory or a job-training intern, should receive a review at 3 months. This is a good time for a check-in with the whole staff (informal check-ins with the intern's direct supervisor should have been happening at regular intervals anyway), and this is also the time that we tell the intern that they're not right for the job if this is the case.
This howto is meant to help the intern's supervisor get the review done in a timely manner. As with all howtos, this document should be updated as the process changes.
Process Overview
This process should be simple, and low-stress:
- Print out the forms and give 'em to collective members to complete.
- Collect the completed forms, needling collective members as necessary.
- Show all the completed forms to the intern while you and one other collective member sit and have coffee with the intern.
- Take notes on this note-taking form.
- Put a text copy of the notes you took in the intern's directory in the personnel directory.
- Report back at the next staff meeting.
Ta-daa! Follow the timeline below for clarity and timeliness.
