What are some insights into the application process at SMA?
Pros
Just joining up now so no real experience with SMA yet other than the application process. It's nice that you can do most of it on line.
Cons
The online experience had quite a few glitches. System sometimes would not accept my input after typing for 10 minutes. A lot of information and background is required. There is no real overview of the application process and how it is supposed to work. You just have to jump in and figure it out as you go along.
Advice to Management
Provide an overview / or guidance as to the application process. Work on the website to make it more robust - got lots of error messages after typing for 10 minutes and work could not be saved. Perhaps create a drafts folder where work can be saved and then uploaded once connectivity issues are resolved. Need an overview presentation on the application process. Need guidance on how the different categories in the application apply to the resume. For instance, the fact that Deployment Roles form the initial narrative of the Resume.
