Admission
When interviewing someone like Sandy Jenkins about possible embezzlement, it is crucial to employ a methodical and evidence-based approach to ensure the authenticity of any admissions made. Utilizing the Cognitive Interview technique, which emphasizes open-ended
questions and encourages the interviewee to provide a detailed account of events, can help gather
more reliable information (Bekerian & Dennett, 1993). Additionally, the Reid Technique involves a structured approach to questioning, focusing on behavioral cues and consistency in responses (Sanow, 2011). However, it is essential to be aware of the potential for false admissions, as individuals may be coerced or confess to minimize consequences. The Innocence Project highlights the importance of avoiding leading questions, ensuring voluntariness, and corroborating confessions with other evidence to reduce the risk of false admissions during interviews in legal contexts (Sinhg & Majumdar, 2018). Employing a combination of these techniques while remaining mindful of the potential for false confessions can enhance the reliability of admissions obtained during the investigative process. If Sandy Jenkins has confessed to embezzlement during our interview, it is important to ask postadmission questions to validate the veracity of his confession and gather additional details. The postadmission questions aim to elicit specific, detailed information to corroborate the confessions, verify the extent of the embezzlement, and uncover any additional relevant details for the investigation. It’s important to approach the questions with a thorough and objective mindset, ensuring that the information gathered aligns with other evidence and facts in the case. 1.
Can you provide a step-by-step explanation of how you carried out the embezzlement
scheme?
2.
Can you specify when you initiated the scheme and ceased your activities?
3.
Were there any external pressures or personal circumstances that influenced your actions?
4.
Were any colleagues or superiors aware of or involved in your activities?

FACTS:
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jonadel Corporation has proposed that all managerial positions be included in the corporate job evaluation program. The idea came from several friends in other companies of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries where he is a member of the Board of Directors. The inclusion of managerial positions in other company’s job evaluation programs has been found successful and helpful. There are differences in the pay systems based on the job evaluation in these companies where the chairman is and has the greatest shares of stocks.
In one of the special meetings of the Board of Directors, he proposed the idea to the Chief Operating Officer. The Chief Operating Officer said that the programs be held in abeyance until he had consulted his line and operating managers who will be affected by the changes due to the job evaluation system that will be implemented.
In the meeting called by the Chief Operating Officer, most of the managers opposed the…

How Would You Handle This?
Refer a Friend
Your manager is very concerned about the cost of hiring the three new people
you need. As a result, she doesn't want to post the advertisement in a variety
of places; she thinks it's best to just use a "refer a friend" recruitment strategy.
When she moves forward with this strategy, ten people turn in résumés. Upon
looking further, it appears all applicants went to the same private religious
college and graduated around the same time. You are concerned that this
method of recruitment lacks diversity. How would you handle this with your
manager?

Unpaid posts on social media handles is a great way to acquire new customers, because:
Algorithms for social media websites, like Facebook, prioritize posts from businesses over posts from friends
Impressions for posts on social media websites is very high, since most customers have accounts on the
websites, and log in almost everyday
Social media posts can be shared. This increases impressions, and consequently helps acquire many new
customers
None of the other statements are correct. Unpaid posts on social media handles receive very limited
impressions, and thus, are not a great way to acquire new customers.
