Differences in gender, age, and physical abilities contribute to the diversity of today's workforce. Working with a classmate, role-play a conversation in which
a. A woman is being interviewed for a job by a male personnel manager.
b. An older person is being interviewed for a job by a younger personnel manager.
c. An employee who is a native speaker of English is being interviewed for a job by a hiring manager who is a recent immigrant with relatively poor English skills.
How did differences between the applicant and the interviewer shape the communication? What can you do to improve communication in such situations?
