Scenario
Ben, a graduate student that works in the MIT Media Lab, is looking for a student in the computer science department to develop software for mobile devices.
Ben goes to the MIT Jobs site and signs up for an account by providing his name, his role (graduate student) and his email address. For additional contact details, he provides his phone number. Next, Ben creates a job post with the following specifications; position of UROP, job group is Software, department is Media Arts & Science, required competences is Java, location is Cambridge Massachusetts (MIT Media Lab), instruction is to apply by email and deadline is in 2 weeks.
Alyssa, an undergraduate student in Computer Science. She has taken a core Java class (6.005) and is very apt in Java. She is also proficient in python and C++. She is looking for a UROP in the MIT Media Lab, for the semester and possibly into the summer. She logs into the MIT Jobs site (using her MIT certificates), She selects the department (Media Arts and Science), the job type (UROP) and job group (Software). She sees a listing of opportunities available for her. She finds the post made by Ben, which fits perfectly with her needs and is still within the deadline for applying.
Alyssa decides to contact Ben to inquire about the posting, and get some more details about the project. She writes the message to Ben and sends it. Ben receives the message and replies. They set up a meeting time.
Dragos, an undergraduate at MIT studying Computer Science, is also looking for a UROP for the semester. Like Alyssa, he is also good in Java. He is already interviewing for a UROP that he likes but he would like to keep himself posted on a few other interesting opportunities for which he is qualified. He goes to the MIT Jobs site and decides to follow Ben’s job posting so that he gets updates about the posting.
Ben is interested in meeting more people for the position, but he did not receive enough replies. Thus he updates the job position so the deadline is postponed for one more week. Dragos receives the update via email. Other applicants send their resume via email to Ben, but none of them had a resume as good as Alyssa.
Ben then decides that Alyssa will fill the UROP position. but by the time he decides it the job posting is not anymore in the website, since the deadline is already over. Dragos had already received a notification that the deadline for applying was over.
