Paragraph 1 How do we plan for the next time a hurricane hits New York City? Do you think since the storm has come and gone that city is now better prepared for the inevitable to happen again? Climate experts say that sea levels in the region have not only increased but will likely get higher as time goes by, so the question is: Which is the right path forward for the City of New York? Does the city continue to build sturdier and higher sea walls? Or do you just accept the consequences of flooding and implement smarter methods to make the local infrastructure more elastic and easier to recover?

Keep in mind the following when choosing a job-
The selection techniques and procedures that companies use when deciding which applicants should receive job offers

Selection is the process of gathering information about job applicants to decide who should be offered a job. To make sure that selection decisions are accurate and legally defendable, the EEOCs Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures recommend that all selection procedures be validated. Validation is the process of determining how well a selection test or procedure predicts future job performance. The first selection devices that most job applicants encounter when they seek a job are application forms and rsums. Nearly all companies ask an applicant to provide employment references, such as the names of previous employers or coworkers, whom they can contact to learn more about the candidate. Background checks are used to verify the truthfulness and accuracy of information that applicants provide about themselves and to uncover negative, job-related background information not provided by applicants. Unfortunately, previous employers are increasingly reluctant to provide references or background check information for fear of being sued by previous employee for defamation.

When previous employers decline to provide meaningful references or background information, they put other employers are at risk of negligent hiring lawsuits, in which an employer is held liable for the actions of an employee who would not have been hired if the employer had conducted a thorough reference search and background check. Selection tests give organizational decision makers a chance to know who will likely do well in a job and who wont. The basic idea behind biodata is that past behavior (personal background and life experience) is the best predictor of future behavior. In interviews, company representatives ask job applicants job-related questions to determine whether they are qualified for the job. Interviews are probably the most frequently used and relied on selection device. There are several basic kinds of interviews are unstructured, structured, and semistructured interviews.
