Scenario based questions: a) Mr. William was continuously on leave a few days ago, when he was asked to explain the reason for leave; he said that he was on leave because of illness. He was then asked to present the medical report but he got failed to do so. What do you think his application for leave should be approved or not? Justify your answer. b) Maria Fernandez is a bright, popular and well-informed mechanical engineer who graduated with an engineering degree from the state university in June 2003. During the spring prior her graduation, she went out on many jobs interviews, most of which she thought were conducted courteously and were reasonably useful in giving both her and prospective employer a good impression of where each of them stood on matters of importance to both of them. It was, therefore, with great anticipation that she looked for an interview with the one firm in which she most wanted to work: Apex Environmental. Where she thought she could have a successful career while making the world a better place. The interview, however, was a disaster. Maria walked into a room in which five men began throwing the questions at her that she felt were aimed primarily at tripping her up rather than finding out what she could offer through her engineering skills. The questions ranged from unnecessarily discourteous, (Why would you take a job as a waitress in college if you are such an intelligent person?) (Are you planning on settling down and starting a family anytime soon?) Then, after the interview, she met with two of the gentlemen individually (including the President) and the discussion focused almost exclusively on her technical expertise. She thought that this later discussion went fairly well. However, given the apparent aimlessness and even mean-spiritedness of the panel interview, she was astonished when several days later she got a job offer from the firm. The offer forced her to consider several matters. From her point of view, the job itself was perfect. She liked what she would be doing, the industry, and the firms location. And in fact, the President had been quite courteous in subsequent discussions. She was left wondering whether the panel interview had been intentionally tense to see how shed stand up under pressure, and. If so, why they would do such a thing? Question: How would you explain the nature of the panel interview Maria had to endure? Specifically, do you think it reflected a well thought out interviewing strategy on the part of the firm or carelessness on the part of the firms management? If it was carelessness, what would you do to improve the interview process at Apex Environmental?
