[Urgent] Overall feedback field should be updated to encourage reviewers to review experience and job description #188

Closed trdillah closed 9 years ago

trdillah commented 9 years ago

Based on expert interview with Tracie W., the most critical aspect of a resume is that job seekers' experiences match the job they are applying for. To help the reviewer provide the best feedback possible, update the "overall feedback" so that it probes the reviewer to look for the following: "Overall, the skills and experience listed on this resume match the job description specified."

"Yes, No, Somewhat, N/A"

So this is replacing the current "Overall Feedback"? Or adding a new field? New field will be a little easier to do as there won't be as much code rewrite. But either way, let me know.

If it's easier to write new code, do so. My intention was to replace the existing code though. On Aug 30, 2015 1:06 PM, "Suleman Diwan" notifications@github.com wrote:

It would be easiest if we simply added a subtitle to the "Overall Feedback" heading. With what is suggested above there will be a fair bit of work either way. This is because I will have to go through the code to undo the star rating, add the new choices, and go back and change the backend model and functions to treat this field differently.

Is there a way we can leverage the star ratings for now? And for the next milestone (prior to the refactor) I can make it different.

To clarify the work mostly comes from using the star rating vs non-star rating at the moment. If we use star rating, adding a new field is easier and renaming the current field is trivial. Thoughts?

Hi Suleman,

When we first discussed this, I mentioned the star ratings. You mentioned a simple yes no as an option--I thought maybe that would be easier so I went with it. If the star rating is easier, just add the statement, "Rank how well the skills and experience listed on this resume match the job description specified." Include the help text for star ratings that you have currently. Thanks.
