Mr. X worked in the human resources department that was interviewing applicants for a top job in a widget company. After reading many applications, one stood out way ahead of the others. Then he realized that he knew the applicant, Mr. Y. They had hung out together when they were teenagers. Mr. Y had been a wild kid and once was arrested for shoplifting and the possession of drugs. Mr. Y had completed mandatory counseling and, as far as Mr. X knew, Mr. Y had straightened out his life and had done well during the last twenty years. Mr. Y hadn’t indicated in his application that he had once been arrested and Mr. X feared that the company would never hire someone with a police record, no matter how minor or how long ago the offence was. Do you favor Mr. X revealing the information?10 Marks

      Hi Deepika
      The case study is based on the principle of Integrity so write in accordance.
      You have mentioned the consequences in a decent manner but also
      think over it that the best course of action for Mr. X here would be to inform the HR panel and recuse himself from the interview panel.
      In conclusion,write about how professionalism would be affected by the course of action of Mr.X.
      Avoid scribbling .
      Overall a decent attempt,keep it up.

      Hi
      The case study is not about any dilemma ,its about integrity.
      You have discussed the different options available to Mr.X but did not mention the best course of action for Mr.X.
      Explain that global ethics and professional standards demand one to always act with integrity.
      In concluding remarks,write a balanced solution for both Mr.X and MR.Y.
      Work on presentation.
      Avoid scribbling.
      Work hard,you will succeed.
