Fiber Optics New Hire
It is not easy looking for new staff, let alone new staff with the right credentials that will fit in with the rest of the employees. Sometimes we tend to not look past the scrutiny of how one is dressed or how they look or where they come from. We don’t know if their culture will assimilate with our work environment culture. Everyone tends to set a precedent before the new eligible candidate is thought of either if they will be male or female or white, black, Hispanic, Asian or Middle Eastern. Employees tend to already, after so many years of working with one another, tend to formulate certain cliques based on age, race and other characteristics even on education background and experiences. For this position sales manager of Fiber Optics, I want to make an unbiased decision on who I pick for the right ethical reasons and not based on any of those criteria’s but based on merit, experience, education and of course legality (citizenship).
In reading about all of the candidates that have applied for the sales manager position, I’d have to say that they all had impeccable short bios, but to me only two stuck out from the group. I would have to pick between Lynn the IT Manager and Karen the Sales Representative. They both have some knowledge in Fiber Optics and its engineering and also experience in sales. I think although Lynn would be a great candidate for the job, she would have some trouble acculturating to the job because of her lack of speaking English well and trying to assimilate to our American culture. She would have to catch on fast in order to gain more of prospective clients. Her short bio did not state if she was single or had a family, so should be possible candidate to be able to stay late hours to work on
