During his contact with Ms. Carrolls, he assured her that the specified issues would be in order on time. Unfortunately Mr. Robins did not follow through in concluding the hiring process correctly. While Mr. Robins was able to successfully recruit several new hires, he lacked in following hiring procedures correctly. In retrospect, consideration should have been made on Mr. Robins’ behalf to look into what may have caused his lapse in judgment.

Perhaps his supervisor needed to check in with him periodically to ensure he had a good grasp of the hiring process. It is unclear as to whether or not Mr. Robins was supposed to be in charge of the screening process; however, this could have also been allocated to HR to follow up with as well. There are a lot of underlying issues with the hiring process at ABC, Inc., but it is evident that Mr. Robins will need to take accountability for his lack of…

    He had investigated a number of job possibilities, but had received no offers and was still unclear about the direction he wished to follow. His strengths appeared to lie in the marketing and human resources area. He had little interest in joining a major retail company: “I’ve been on that treadmill before,” he said. He felt that whatever his eventual career choice would be, he wanted to do “something that will make some differences to me and to others.” The idea of working for himself was appealing: “At least I’d be sweating to put money in my own pocket.”…

    For 7 years, I had been employed by AMC Theatres of Canada and had learned a great deal about how to manage a business and how to deal with guest concerns as well as employee concerns. What started out as a part-time job as a teenager, as well as a way to stay connected with my love of movies, I had rapidly progressed through the ranks in the organizational structure of my theatre location. My schooling was not in business, or more specifically human resources, but in the humanities, therefore I learned management techniques in a more hands on way rather than through theories.

A lot of how I dealt with situations were either coached by superiors, or occurred through trial and error circumstances, circumstances that would have been much easier to deal with had I taken this course beforehand.…
