As a human resources (HR) recruiter, discuss with the hiring managers the importance of selecting the best candidates in your industry for the positions listed below. Be sure to consider matching the needs and culture of the organization. You may use the Career Services interviewing section to assist you with your project. Complete the following:

• Discuss the process for developing interview questions for an hourly position (e.g., a receptionist, data entry operator, customer service representative, etc.) and a specialist position (e.g., a technician, chef, nurse, foreman, accountant, engineer, librarian, etc.), and be sure to include the steps for determining appropriate questions.
• Discuss the 3 types of interviews, and give examples of each type.
• Develop a total of 8 interview questions (4 questions per position), develop the question responses, and explain what you would be looking for with each answer.
• Provide a mixture of behavioral and technical questions that you believe are the most important.

Part 2:

• Make any necessary revisions to your final presentation based on their suggestions.
• Additional content should be at least 3 PowerPoint slides in length with at least 200 words of speaker notes per slide, and it should include the following details:
  • How does the HR department support the organization’s competitiveness by maintaining a highly skilled and motivated workforce through training and development?

Leadership, statesmanship, governance – Founders Analysis Paper

 

Order InstructionsFOUNDERS ANALYSIS PAPER INSTRUCTIONS –
Module/Week 1 provided an overview of biblical principles related to leadership, statesmanship, and government. In this module/week, you evaluate the lives, actions and decisions of key leaders in the American founding. In turn, this paper will require you to analyze those founders in light of the biblical principles discussed in Module/Week 1. It consists of 3 parts (below). These sections must be discussed in the order presented above and with appropriate headings
• Part 1: A summarization of biblical principles of government, leadership, and statesmanship relevant to founding a nation (1–1.5 pages); • Part 2: An application of those principles to the decisions and actions of George Washington and Patrick Henry (1-1.5 pages) and • Part 3: Application of the statesmanship principles discussed in parts 1 and 2 to one germane issue in a contemporary context (1-2 pages). (The application is not a full blown case study as you read in Newell. The application links the principles and in Part 2 to a similar situation today.
In Part 2, remember to provide specific evidence (i.e., actions taken and decisions made) to explain how these leaders demonstrated the various attributes and principles discussed in Part 1. In doing all of this, keep in mind the following:
1) While statesmanship is certainly about personal leadership skills, moral attributes, and vision, it must also include an understanding of how government actually works and should be structured. There are plenty of nice, honorable people who care for others but who do not possess an understanding of the inter-workings of government and the required structure needed for a government designed to figh injustice, prevent exploitation, and limit tyranny, particularly in founding a nation.2) Thus, your discussion must include a conversation about the type of understanding needed by a statesman as it relates to government structure. The class readings and in particular, the class presentations for this week will be really helpful to that end.3) Your discussion must also focus on those statesmanship principles needed specifically for founding a nation. As you will notice from the course, we discuss statesmanship in a variety of contexts. It could be that different statesmanship principles are needed for these different contexts. Therefore, make sure you are thinking specifically about the challenges of creating a nation based upon justice and liberty for this assignment.

Simpson’s Paradox

 

Simpson’s Paradox

 

A family member can go to one of two local hospitals for heart surgery.
Checking the history for the past year, you find that each of the two hospitals has performed cardiac surgery on 1000 patients. In hospital A 710 patients survived (71%). In hospital B 540 (54%) survived.
Based on the numbers presented, which hospital do you think is superior in cardiac surgery?

Surely hospital A is better, right?

Now, let’s look at more data. The below chart summarizes three categories of patients (those entering in fair, serious and critical condition) and the survival rate from surgery (in percent) for the two local hospitals.

Patient Entering Condition

Hospital A

Hospital B

Survivors from A (# and percent)

Survivors from B (# and percent)

Fair

700

100

600 or 86%

90 or 90%

Serious

200

200

100 or 50%

150 or 75%

Critical

100

700

10 or 10%

300 or 43%

Total

1000

1000

710 or 71%

540 or 54%

Looking at the data broken down in this way, we see that Hospital B has a higher success rate in all three categories of patients but when averaged all together, Hospital A has the higher overall survival rate. Based on the numbers presented, which hospital do you think is superior in cardiac surgery and why? Must be at least 75 words
