Case in Brief

“Is Something Wrong?”

Pasty Swain, district sales manager for Avco Electronics, was preparing to interview her first
applicant , Ray Wyscup , for a sales representative position. She had advertised for an individual
with detailed knowledge of computers and spreadsheet software in addition to a minimum of five
years sales experience.

“Hello, Ray I am Pasty Swain. I have looked at your resume and am anxious to talk to you about
this job. You have a very impressive sales record.”

“Its nice to meet you, pat. Your ad in the journal certainly caught my attention. I would like to be
with a firm offering such a promising career.”

“Glad you saw it, Ray. We like to believe that our firm is unique and truly has something to offer
top caliber people such as you. Why don’t you begin this session by telling me all about
yourself? We are a very close knit group here, and I would like to learn about you and your
family .”

Ray appeared to be very relaxed and comfortable in Pasty’s presence . He began, “well,you see, I
am a single parent with two preschool children. Since I am only 41 years old, I am pretty well
able to keep up with their various activities. Of course, you understand that one gets sick
occasionally , and this causes me to take a few personal days off. But, I have always been able
to handle it. This circumstances wouldn’t affect my job performance.”

“Well, I am sure it wouldn’t .I also have some youngsters at home.” Pat replied .”would you now
tell me about your last job with IBX?”

Ray , feeling more confident than ever, began,” Well, Patsy, I had a brief, but very successful
stint with them. But I had rather you contact them about me. You see, my regional manager and I
had a personality conflict, and I am afraid he might not tell a straight story.”

“I see ,”Patsy said “What about your position before that, your job with Uniserv?”

“I did well there too,” Ray stated. “But that outfit went belly up . I have no idea where any of
those people are now .”

After the interview had continued for about an hour, Patsy said, “well, I guess that about wraps it
up, Ray,unless you have questions for me.”

`
“No,” Ray responded, “ I believe I understand the nature of the position, and I can assure you
that I will do a great job for you.”

Pat smiled and nodded and the two shook hands as ray departed.

given in resume. Often successful accomplishment in the formal investigation.

Pasty could go for informal investigation, there he could send his representative to Ray’s past
jobs physically and discuss with her ex-colleague’s, team meats, and supervisor. He could also
investigate in her residential area regarding her past records, attitudes etc.
