Business Ethics
1.
My subject for the ethics interview was Angela Williams. I have known Angela throughout my life as a member of my family. She is six years older than I and is experienced in the corporate world which makes her an ideal subject for this interview. Angela graduated from Catholic University in 2005 and has held three separate jobs since then. Other than a Catholic college, she has attended Catholic school throughout her life including a small, all-girls 7-12 high school. Her most recent employment is at a non-profit organization of Massachusetts but her prior employments involved an advertising firm and an insurance agency. All three of these jobs involve marketing/sales which in many cases involve making a product/service attractive to a customer. Angela has shown dedication and devotion to all of her career paths, and from an outside point of view I am able to say that she acts as an ethical professional. Her employment at not only corporations but also non-profits has increased her experience and has given her a better perspective of how people act in each job environment.
The ethical issue that Angela and I discussed happened when she first arrived at her current job about three years ago. Her employment at a Boston, Massachusetts based philanthropy, which is also well-known throughout the country, is in the business of helping people and raising money for many deserved causes. Angela has always been very personable and very social in every situation, which contributes greatly to her positive attitude and strong networking skills. Because of these skills she has had the opportunity to meet many people and always attempts to be friendly with everyone she meets.
