Job Case

You are the CEO of a company hiring a national sales director. You are meeting with your Vice Presidents to discuss the three finalists for the job. Because the VPs do not agree on which candidate to hire, you must make the final decision. In order to explain to the VPs why you have selected the candidate you choose, use what you know from sociology to help you make a fair decision and to justify your choice to the VPs. Be sure to use a number of relevant sociological concepts and facts. You should pay attention not only to why you believe a particular candidate should get the job, but also to ways in which the people in this case reflect common sociological concepts, recurring themes, and sociological theories.


Hints: You should consider the different letters and resumes as well as the arguments made by the VPs about the candidates and consider how they reflect concepts or issues relevant to the perspective.

Research the case.
