Please conduct some basic “recruiting research” to substantiate several claims made in the article “What 11 CEOs Have Learned….” regarding Medtronic’s claims around diversity. The company says they have increased diversity in their board of directors and in their management (most senior) ranks. By 2020 the company aspires to 40% of management and higher-level roles are held by women. Describe what these 2 groups of senior employees look like today regarding the definition of diversity – how “diverse” are they?
The 2nd claim was made by Kaiser Permanente – “50% of the management positions are held by racial and cultural minorities and 75% are held by women. 29% of the Health Plan Organization’s C-Suite were women”. Is this true today and describe what you saw in this group of senior employees? What research tools did you use to confirm this information?
In the article, “Great Leaders Who Make the Mix….” the statement, “…even leaders passionate about building inclusive cultures can inadvertently allow unconscious biases to shape their behavior” likely conjures up memories for all of us from current or past work experience. Please describe where you have either be a participant of, or were witness to, this kind of unconscious bias and how you believe the issue could be remedied for future incidents. Please be specific in your examples.
Be prepared to discuss in class and also submit a paper (minimum 500 words) regarding your answers to at least four (4) of these questions:
How valid are interviews in predicting overall job performance?
What are some biases of an interviewer that may affect the interview? Reflect on your own interviewing behaviors – describe them and discuss how you discovered you had them?
What kind of influence tactics have you observed that are being used by an interviewee (the candidate)?
Research the differences between a structured and an unstructured interview – which one yields the better results? What is your opinion and what does the research indicate?
When interviewing a candidate, what is more effective – using situational questions (“Think about a situation when….”) or experience-based questions (“Tell me about the most serious conflict situation you’ve been in….”). Offer a few examples of each that you use and like.
What impact does the actual process have on the quality of the job interview – does it matter if it is conducted via telephone, video conference, FaceTime or in-person?
The importance of references – share your best practices in conducting reference checks.
When you are under pressure to recruit (time, quality, crisis situation) how does that influence the interview process and outcome?

4. They will often examine and then put the hair root in their mouth.
5. For the above reasons, these people are often fairly secretive about their problems.

5. It involves excessively and impulsively scratching, rubbing or picking normal skin which creates skin lesions (sores). These clients do not feel that they can control this behavior.
6. They do not feel they need counseling.
Assignment: Since I gave a short list of notes, I will try to give a more in-depth assignment. What is the best therapy for each of these problems? How do you notice these things when they can be very hard to spot. What would cause these problems? Root cause, not just anxiety. You may have to use a lot of notes and personal thinking to come up with this one.
Set Up: You serve as the head of your local community Public Safety Commission. The jail that is under your administration is falling apart and needs to be replaced, it basically cannot be repaired anymore. Also, in the community, the Senior High School is in a similar state of disrepair.
It is now coming close to elections and funding for both are on the upcoming ballot and there is only funding for one (1) project and voter’s must decide which one to fund.
PROJECT PAPER TOPIC:
In a minimum of 5 pages, draft and support arguments that would support funding of the jail in lieu of the high school.
Since this is a fictitious jurisdiction, you can make up jail populations, trends, community needs, public safety concerns to justify your position.
Literature Review of Health Issue (Hepatitis A) and Target Population (Residents of Chatham County)
A literature review is a necessary part of fully understanding the health issue you are trying to address. Reviewing the literature provides you with diverse perspectives that may support or oppose your own perspective on the issue. This is an essential part of the decision-making process as it relates to designing, implementing, and evaluating any public health program.
1. Have you started reviewing different resources about your health issue? Have you been able to find current information?
2. Have you been able to identify common themes as well as differences in addressing the issue?
3. Have you found any evidence that supports the proposed intervention for your target population?
Prepare a 46-page literature review that focuses on the health issue and target population being addressed through the practicum experience. Include a minimum of eight (8) references presented in APA format. References should have been published within the past five years.
Part 1. Choose a controversal image
Are some images not fit to be shown? If you think that, yes, some images are not fit to be shown, then what and why? Give specific examples. If you think that the public has the right to see anything, explain your rationale. And, what is the media’s responsibility to the public when it comes to certain controversial images?
Part2. Analysis of a Visual Argument
Rough Draft: Analysis of a Visual Argument
Introduction:
Begin by identifying the work, its author (the person or group of people who produced it), its medium (is it a PSA, an advertisement, a photograph, etc.) and its message (what is it trying to say).
Body: In a series of well developed paragraphs, consider the following (these are questions to get you thinking and are not meant to be systematically answered!):
What is the works context and intended audience
o What historical or social factors affect the ways we receive the text (ex: Uts photograph on p. 146 of your text must be understood in the context of the Vietnam War). For what audience it most directly intended does it target a broad audience or a narrow one?
What is the works overall purpose? Is its purpose different than its message?
o For example, an advertisement may be selling both a product and an idea or image. What does the work want its audience to do buy something? Change their minds? Consider an unfamiliar point of view? Expand their concept of something they thought was familiar?
How does the work do what it does what are its methods?
o How is it organized? What is in the foreground and what is in the background? How does the text use logical persuasion (proof and/or reasoning)? How does it use emotional persuasion — does it want its audience to laugh or cry or be angry, or does it ask for impartiality? What kinds of authority does it use–experience or expertise? Whose? Does it tell stories? Does it try to shock? How does it integrate different kinds of persuasive methods does it want to appear to be objective while at the same time drawing on emotions (ex: statistics about the numbers of children affected by a disaster as opposed to raw numbers of people affected).
Conclusion:
Conclude by explaining how well you think the work accomplishes its purposes for its intended audience.
o What about the work seems especially effective? What doesnt seem to work, if anything? What is most memorable about the work?

Awareness of Work’s Intended Purpose
Awareness of Work’s Intended Audience
Awareness of Work’s Intended Message
Awareness of Your Own Purpose, Audience, and Message
Development of Ideas
Organization of Ideas (Effective Essay Structure)
