...The Out-of-Control Interview Question 1: 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 firm’s management? If it was carelessness, what would you do to improve the interview process at Apex Environmental? Answer: The overall expression of the interview was so stressful. This is because Maria Fernandez was a bright popular and well informed mechanical engineer, who graduated with an engineering degree from State University in June 2003. As she was a bright and intelligent engineer she always expected a job which can evaluate or where she can implement her working capability and exclusively one her technical skill expertise. So a firm likes Apex Environmental which is a well known and structured firm where Maria most wanted to work. This can evaluate her working ability perfectly. That was her expectation. But the interview was a disaster for her because it was an Stress interview. The interviewer seeks to make applicant uncomfortable with occasionally rude question. The question ranged from unnecessarily discourteous to irrelevant and sexist such. This it reflected a well thought out interviewing strategy on the part of the firm because it helps to identify hypersensitive applicants and those with low high stress tolerance and Maria was selected because of her responsible and mature behavior. To respond...

...Nurse Leader Interview Paper Uchenna Enewally University of Phoenix NUR 587 February 25, 2013 Breta Lieke, RN, MSN, NE-BC Nurse Leader Interview Getting a chance to interview a true nurse leader is not easy as many attempts to get an appointment fail. Nurse leaders have very busy schedules because of their organizational roles and finding time to grant a quality interview about their leadership style is slightly out-of-the-box for their daily routines. Interviewing a nurse leader is even harder when the interviewer is working from a remote area in Africa and has to do the interview by phone. The interview must take place so when finally MK, the Patient Advocate/Patient care services of St. Francis Medical Center consented and gave the interview, it became possible to report the personal in-sight of a good nurse leader. This interview report is a summary of MK’s perspectives on her leadership style, changes made because of evolving leadership role, challenges faced as a leader in today’s health care system and the effects of formal and informal power in the organization. Summary below are her answers to the questions asked by the nursing graduate student presenting this report. Leadership Style MK started at the organization in 2004 as the patient advocate manager to improve the customer satisfaction rating and advance the image of the hospital in the Los...

WHEN & HOW TO USE THE INFORMATION……………………………PAGE 6 4. STEPS TO AN EFFECTIVE EXIT INTERVIEW…………………………..PAGE 7 5. CONCLUSION…………………………………………………………………PAGE 9 6. REFERENCES…………………………………………………………………PAGE 10 INTRODUCTION Exit interviews are conducted with departing employees, just before they leave. Participation in exit interviews by the employee is voluntary but, the primary aim of the exit interview is to learn reasons for the person's departure, on the basis that the information will be a helpful driver for organizational improvement. Exit interviews are also an opportunity for the Organization to enable transfer of knowledge and experience from the departing employee to a successor or replacement, or even to brief a team on current projects and issues. Good exit interviews should also yield useful information about the University as an employer, to assess and improve all aspects of the working environment, culture, processes and systems, management and development, etc. Exit interviews are a unique opportunity to survey and analyze the opinions of departing employees, who generally are more forthcoming, constructive and objective than staff still in post. From the departing employee perspective, an exit interview is a chance to give some constructive feedback. Exit interviews are an extremely important...

...December 7, 2012 Gun Control Obviously, guns have been a very big part of our history but because it was use inappropriately gun control was created. Guns are weapons that can take a life in an instant (“Does Gun Control…”). Guns have been part of American society since the arrival of the first European settlers (“Topic Overview…”). Arms in this country are part of our history, part of our culture. It has been passed down, generations to generations, as just an important part of who we are (“Topic Overview…”). Prior to the civil war, gun control laws were enacted in the slaves states principally due to the fear of firearms in the hands of free blacks and slaves who might rebel against their masters (“Special Interview…”). In the 1960’s after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, gun control became a major subject of safety. Certain individuals cannot handle firearm safely, and some individuals choose to use firearms inappropriately. Our society has passed laws regulating the ownership and use of firearms, and more legislation is being considered (“Special Interview…”). Throughout history violence has plagued the human race. We have passed laws to protect society, but the violence continues. Laws attempt to change human behavior, but laws are not able to change human nature. Laws are not enough to protect people from aggression. Xiong 2 While gun control advocates contend that guns leads to crime, injury, and...

...might be difficult or embarrassing, or where they will be unable to receive assistance in case of emergency. The symptoms cannot be better explained by another medical or psychological effect. Briefly describe the client’s background (age, race, occupation etc). The client is named Annie, and she is a 24 year-old Caucasian woman. According to the case history she had an abusive relationship with her parents, and started experiencing mental health problems during puberty. Annie is currently unemployed, and is receiving disability payments from the federal government. Please describe any factors in the client’s background that might predispose him or her to this disorder. During the interview, Annie states that her childhood was normal. However, during the interview she occasionally alludes to some abusive experiences, but is reluctant to talk about them any further. The client also makes reference to the night terrors she experienced at the young age of four, eight and twelve. These “intense” nightmares terrified her growing up, and she attributes some of her anxiety to them. She believes that after the night terrors she experienced anxiety over a constant feeling of dis-reality and dissociation, due to flashbacks of the night terrors occurring in her everyday life. Observations Please describe any symptoms that you have observed which support the diagnosis. You can include direct quotes or any other behaviors you may have...

...interviewing witness section; Bruce, who studied how people recognise faces, Loftus who studied the factors influencing perception of a crime for eye witnesses, and Fisher and Gieselman who looked at the efficiency of different police interview techniques, especially cognitive interviews. Research into interviewing witnesses is usually done as labatory experiments, as it enabled the researchers to control the ecological validity in the study, and stop a lot of extraneous variables affecting the results. An example of this would be Bruce’s study, which occurred at Stirling University. The study was controlled as the same photographs of the celebrities were shown to each pf the 30 participants. They also knew who the suspect was, so reliability could be checked between studies. This is good as it enabled Bruce to control the variables, and therefore maintain ecological validity. On the other hand, Fisher and Gieselman was a field experiment, yet was far more ecologically valid than Bruce. Fisher and Gieselman used the same 16 detectives to interview the suspects, and also by using a blind panel to analyse the information, the study became more controlled, and ecological validity was even higher. However one flaw of preforming studies to interview witnesses is that the emotions and consequences of participants will be very different to real witnesses, as in both Bruce and Loftus’s study, participants knew they were in a study and knew they were not in any real danger. A clear example...

These responsibilities including hiring new staff (recruitment), providing staff training, carrying out staff appraisal and any other issues relating to staff welfare. The staff in this department will usually have some knowledge of employment law and will be able to advise the organisation in this area. Organisational Culture Different organisations operate in different ways. Some organisations operate in a formal way, whereas others are more relaxed. In the past, the culture of an organisation has been described as ‘The way things get done around here’. While one culture may work for one organisation, a different culture may work for another. It is, however, important that everyone working for that organisation understands, and works well within, the culture of that organisation.
