June meets the minimum qualifications stated In the advertisement. The company affirmative action office strongly advised him to hire her. She Is something that the company does not currently have. She can bring new things to the table. She Is ambitious and wants to go father In the company. She Is goal oriented and Is driven to succeed. She Is opinionated, and seems to stand up for herself based on the fact that she said she would sue the company for delimitation If she did not get the Job. Based on the track record of current and previous personnel managers she could quite alcove in this company.
Based off of their history the company does not come off well to minorities. I could not base all of my decision based off Mr.. Greens opinionated notes. For all I know Mr..

The only good opinion he had about her was that she was ambitious. Why I Would Not Hire Bob Young He is not driven to move farther in the company.
