Job Applicant Selection Case Study

The document describes a hiring scenario where a personnel manager must choose between two applicants for a job: a college dropout who is the son of the governor, or a college graduate who is the son of one of the company's suppliers. As the personnel manager, I would choose the college graduate son of the supplier because qualifications like a college degree are most important when making a hiring decision, rather than political connections or relationships.
