This horrific day in history cost over 3,000 people their lives, and was labeled the worst attack on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.

“The employee placement process consists of four activities: recruiting, selection, orientation and employee development” (Reilly, Minnick & Baack, 2011). Since we now know whom we are looking for, it is time to find the employees that best fits the areas needed. Now we have to list our job, its description, and various functions. We should also add the minimum requirement on education as well as previous training. We will now send it out to advertise for potential employee has and show them the possible positions available.

As a human resources manager, the primary task is to ensure that only the best candidates are called for interview. In essence, academic credentials are not enough to determine a candidate’s suitability. During the interview, it is important to ensure that the applicant has required skills to meet the firm’s objectives. For example, a given person might have the best academic qualifications as per the job’s description but lack other important aspects such as ability to work in the team and good communication skills. During the interview, such traits should be noted to disqualify applicants who cannot meet fundamental requirements of a team player.

I was just a few months from my 6th birthday when the terror attacks on September 9th 2001 happened. I was too young to full grasp what was happened at the time. I knew it wasn 't good by seeing everybody crying, the president was always on TV and the flags were constantly flying at half staff. Fast forwards twelve years later and now terrorist are attacking the city that I live in. Unfortunately terrorism is becoming a predominate issue for not only us in the United States but for our Allies in Europe. The Paris and Brussels attacks are proof that even 15 years later we are still faced with a dangerous problem. Groups like Al-Qa’ida and recently ISIS are planting members of their terror organization in the borders of many countries around the world with only one goal in mind, cause havoc. These groups need to be stomped and we, The United States of America need to be the ones to do the stomping.

This goal can be met by utilizing a classical approach to personnel selection. The classical approach to personnel selection starts with the job analysis. From the job analysis sensitive, relevant and reliable criteria are selected on a basis of importance to describe the job specifications that represent knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics (KSAOs) that potential applicants are desired to have for the job (Cascio & Aquinis, 2011).

Three suicide bombers struck outside the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, during a football game. This was trailed by numerous mass shootings, and a recklessness bombing, at teashops and restaurants.

On the other hand, many of the people who left European countries to join ISIS have returned home. Therefore, it is far more likely for such an attack to take place
