Recruitment 2006

I'm getting tired of being the only one publishing posts on this blog, but oh well, it will at least keep me famous for a bit longer ;)
What I want to write is a few words that can describe my feelings about recruitment this year.

This is a special recruitment - from all sides. Many "first times" during it happened. The first time we have ever had awesome recruitment materials like these year's ones. The first time we've had issue-based recruitment. The first time we've had Discussion Clubs. The first time we've had huge and competency oriented applications forms. The first time we've had Recruitment Team (Natalia, Yulia, Nastia, Monika, Ihorko - thank you ;)).

There were mistakes, of course. There were things we did better than expected and things we did a bit worse than expected. We've had our successes and failures.

However, when we were standing in the circle at the end of the LTS and listening to everything that our future generation was saying, I felt so satisfied and happy with the result that it's even hard to explain. I do feel that these people are much better than we were last year, two years, three years ago. I do feel that they are our future. That they are the people we need, the people we want. I hope that you feel the same and that it will prove right.

Thank you - everyone who made at least something to make this recruitment happen. For EB, OCPs, RT, members, for Lviv and Ternopil' interns, for Oksa Zavoyko and Sveta Kroichyk, for Lilia and Oki. Thank you and know that it was because of you that this year we have awesome people to continue organizational development and life ;)
