Roommate Application - Google Form

http://bit.ly/drMzsq

This was my first time using and creating a Google Form. I tried to think about how it could be useful to me not only in my job but also in my personal life. My roommate and I have been spending a lot of time looking for the "perfect" roommate to come live with us. We usually try to "interview" everyone who replies to our ad on Craigslist. During the interviews, we ask them a multitude of predetermining questions. After just one week of interviewing, we got really tired and that's when I got the idea to create a roommate application by using Google Form. All of the predetermining questions are asked in the application: some type of preselection process saving us time and energy. It's great to able to adapt "professional procedures"-an employment application becomes a roommate application-to my daily life. It makes everything quick and simple and shows me how New Technology can be useful in every aspect of my life.

  1. Juliette, this is a great idea. What a time-saver! Plus, people will be more likely to tell you the truth when they fill out the form, rather than try to craft the "right" answer during an in person interview.
