Question 5.
To
The Human Resource Manager
University of Green Hill
Australia
Respectfully,
I would like to grab your attention regarding to some changes in the job advertisement
of Human Resources Advisor in the HR department. I have identified some issues that need
your attention. In the job advertisement, there is no mention of the salary hike and additional
facilities given to the internal employees who will be applying for this position. In addition to
this, there is no mention of salary or the duration of the duty hours in the job advertisement
for the external applicants.
I would request you to ponder over this matter as this can make the job advertisement
less attractive and applicable to the candidates.
I am attaching both the job advertisements with this email.
Thanking you
Sincerely,
Jane Williams

Question 7.
To
The Human Resource Manager
University of Green Hill
Australia,
Respectfully
I would like to draw your attention towards the recruitment process of the Human
Resources Advisor vacancy. I have completed reviewing the recruitment, section and
induction policies of the university and found out that we need to caret a panel of interview
so that we can select the most fitted person in this position.
In this interview panel I would like to include the VP, provost, dean and the human
resource manager that is you. I also shall be present in the as the human resource admin staff.
I therefore would like to request you to be a part of this interview panel and help us to
analyse the candidates’ motivation level, points of view and other capabilities.
I would be obliged if you ponder over this matter and find the interview question
attached with this mail.
Thanking you

Question 8.
There are some very essential factors to be judged for the recruitment of the Human
resource Advisor position which include the candidates’ educational qualification, job
experience and the personality along with attitudes towards the job. This is essential that the
HR department of the University of Green Field effectively judges the five persons applied fir
this job. Academic and trading background need to be judged of all these five candidates. If
the academic background is checked of this candidates, it will be understood that most of
them do not possess all the necessary skills. Some of them do not possess Bachelor’s degree
in the Human Resources management or business administration, Masters in the
organisational philosophy or Human Resources management and some of them also do not
possess the hands on experience of working in any organisation’s HR department.
The candidate like Carrol Tibbs have the necessary educational background that is
bachelor in business and experience of the HR officer. She would have been perfect for the
application of this HR advisor post but she has left her job in 2002 from the HR officer
position. Now this is the seventeen years gap that she needs to overcome. By then many of
the responsibilities and skills of the HR officer has changed due to more business or HR
friendly software. Bob Falter also has the necessary academic background but he has no
working experience in any of the companies. He has wasted his degree of masters in the
human resource management in pursuing his career as a taxi driver.
However, the potential is seen in the candidates like Anne Barns, Reita Faria and
Samiya Johns. The first candidate Anne Barns has the experience of working in the event
management company as the event manager for long 10 years. She might have the capability
of managing situations than the candidates previously mentioned. This candidate wants to
change the working area and enter the direct activities of the human resource managers. She

10ASSESSMENT 2
can be given needed attention and scope for short listing. Reita Faria also has the experience
of working as an HR in a bank in Sudan. Despite the fact that the roles and responsibilities of
the HR in any industry are more or less same but this candidate has the experience to manage
the employees of the banking and financial sector whence she has applied for the HR role in
the education sector. Moreover, she can face issues due to the organizational culture factor as
the culture of operations on Sudan is completely different from that of Australia.
Samiya Johns seems to be the perfect match of this position because she has all the
academic and trading experienced needed for this vacancy in the University. She has the
working experience in the University of Brisbane and know all the features of Australian
organisation. She has working experience of 2 years and possess the diploma degree of the
Human Resource Management.
The short listed candidates are-
 Samiya Johns
 Anne Barnes
 Reita Faria
However more data about these candidates must be sought to get the scope for
identifying perfect person.

Question 9.
To
The Human Resource Manager
University of Green Hill
Australia
Sir,
I would like to share my view about the three short listed candidate for the position of
Human Resources Advisor in the university. These three people are Samiya Johns, Anne
Barnes and Reita Faria. All of these three applicants to me are capable to take the
responsibility of Human Resources Advisor for our department and try to serve their best.
Samiya Johns is my first preference because she has all the academic and trading
experienced needed for this job position. She has the working experience of 2 years in the HR
position in a university and possess the diploma degree of the Human Resource Management.
My second preference will be Reita Faria because she knows all the roles and responsibilities
of the HR in any industry in the banking and financial sector of Sudan.
Anne Barnes will be the last choice as this candidate wants to change the working
field from event manager to the HR manager and enter the direct activities of the human
resource management in the university.
Thanking you
Sincerely,
Jane Williams
