Many times we don’t know the individuals who are applying for one of our trips.  That’s okay… as long as we can learn what we need to from them and about them.  We always recommend interviewing potential participants.  Here are a few things to consider when conducting an interview.

Things to consider

  • Where is the best place to host your interview?
  • If you have to make it over the phone, how can you get a good feel for the person?
  • If in person, how many people will need to sit in the interview?
  • If a big group, try to minimize the intimidation factor
  • Set the applicant at ease - start with some small talk - it helps both parties

Great questions to ask during an interview

  • What excites you about going on this trip?
  • What do you believe could change about your life by going on this trip?
  • What compelled you to apply?
  • How did you hear about this?
  • What do you feel you bring to the team (skills, personality, etc.)?
  • We all struggle to adjust to new cultures and environments.  Tell me a time when you experienced a new culture or environment that made you feel uncomfortable.  How did you react/adjust?
  • What do you friends and family think of you going on this trip?

Passport as Application Field Type
Now a better way to manage passport! Managing passport information can be a challenge each participant may have a passport, may be applying for one, or even your favorites who don't even know.  ServiceReef has built a simpler way to manage passport data in a way that matches how your participants live life and manage their own passports.  Let's explore how this now works.   How do I make passport data part of an application?  A new field has been created in the application builder (both for the Master Application and the Event Application) to require passport field data.  You can drag and drop this block of data at any point into either of these applications.  We do recommend you not do both.  For most organizations this is best to keep at the event level as you may have a number of domestic events where a passport is irrelevant.  Once you have added this item you will also have the option to make these fields mandatory.   What information is collected? The fields include: Passport Status Full Name on Passport Passport Number Passport Date Issued Passport Issed By Passport Expiration Date Passport Image Upload (encrypted)   How do we access this information once it has been entered by the participant? If you add this as an application field, the data is accessible through the participants application and the export fields for your team.   Can the user update their information? Yes, ServiceReef dynamically links these question fields with the user's profile so they can go into their profile at any time and update any passport information.  You can instruct your participants to log into their accounts and find the Passport tab to the left of their account.

Custom Confirmation Message
Customized Event Confirmation Messages   We are pleased to an additional tool for customizing your confirmation message.     Where can I find this message area? This is located in your Application tab for an event.   Where is this message seen? The message you create here will be visible on the registration confirmation page (regardless if the event requires approval or not).   How might we use this? This customized message block is a great place for you to load next steps, key links, and other pertinent data you need to share for instruction.
