с английским В каждой из следующих ситуаций решите, дадите ли вы соискателю работу или нет. Будьте готовы обосновать свое решение в каждом конкретном случае.
Systems Analyst.
The applicant is a 36-year-old woman returning to work after giving up her previous job to start a family three years ago. She is well qualified for the post and much more experienced than any of the other applicants. She is, however, a little out of touch with the latest developments in the industry you work in and would require some retraining. Most of the other applicants are younger men.
Marketing Director.
The applicant is a 29-year-old woman. On paper she looks impressive and at interview she came across very well indeed. In terms of experience and expertise, she is clearly the best person, for the post. There’s only one problem: the job is in a country where women do not have equal status with men and where very few women hold management positions at all, let alone senior ones such as this.
Production Manager.
The applicant is a 44-year-old woman. You have recently interviewed twenty people for a very responsible post within your company and she is one of the two on your final shortlist. The other most promising candidate is a 29-year-old man. On balance, you think the man would probably be the better choice but, at present, your company has only appointed three female managers out of a total of thirty-two and you are under a lot of pressure from the personnel department to exercise ‘positive discrimination’ in favour of women.
Management Trainer.
The applicant is a 31-year-old man. The company you represent runs assertiveness training courses for women in management and at the moment you have an all-female staff. Whilst the applicant has an excellent track record in management training with mixed groups, you have some doubts about his credibility running seminars exclusively for women, some of whom tend to see male managers more as an obstacle than an aid to their progress. You’re also concerned about how the rest of the staff will react to him.
Systems Analyst
Well, I will definitely give her a job. She is well qualified for the post and much more experienced than any of the other applicants. As for retraining, I think I will be very useful. And such a woman will try much harder to prove her competence.
Marketing Director
I will give her a job. If she is really the best person for the post, I can take all other risks. It's business, so I should take rational decisions. As for status of men and women, I think it will change soon, because of globalisation and feminism.
Production Manager
I won't give her a job. I will hire the most promising candidate (29-year-old man). Women want equal rights, so I judge equally men and women. And I think the man is the better option in this case.
Management Trainer
I will give him the job and will see how he will communicate with women. Maybe he will find the right note in training them.
