Title: Communication Challenges in the Hiring Process: A Case Study

Answer the questions below in essay form using at least two of the theories and communication processes we discussed throughout the course.  Some of the concepts that you may use are: culture and socialization, supervisor-subordinate communication, leadership, critical theory and diversity, organizational identity, emotion in the workplace.  You are welcome to use other concepts from the course if you consider them more appropriate to the case.
Questions:
What were the communication issues that arose during Sunil’s interview?
What were the communication issues that arose with Tara’s interview?
What training would you give Sunil in preparing him for future interviews?
What training would you give Scott for effectively interviewing diverse candidates?
What training would you give Scott for avoiding sexual harassment behaviors?  
How does the written communication (resumes) contrast with the face-to-face interaction during the interviews, and which of the two resumes persuaded you the most (there is a huge typo in the technical skills section of Tara’s resume, Sunil labels himself as Sunny in his resume).
