In a Word Document, complete the following two scenario memos and upload them below.

1. Social Media Memo. Consider yourself the HR manager for an organization, and you have been tasked with recruiting a new IT manager. Your organization is located in a village of 20,000 people. You work for a plumbing contractor who has 15 plumbers, 3 plumbing designers, and a small warehouse for plumbing inventory. The front of the office is a small plumbing retail store which is run by three part-time workers who work the cash register.  The area has few skilled workers, and the IT manager position has remained vacant for almost 6 months since the last one left for a bigger city 2 hours away. The company owner has told you to make this a priority for getting a new hire.

Debate the idea of using LinkedIn to find the new IT manager. Provide three "pros" and three "cons" to the idea. describe response as a short memo to your owner, who is against LinkedIn and other of those time-wasting social media sites, explaining that you feel you can find highly qualified IT people who may be interested in moving to your village. Note that the job pays $40,000/year, and requires full-time employment in the office. The department is a "one-person show" - so the IT manager will be required to do all things IT in the entire organization.

Your memo is worth 50 points, and will be graded with 21 points on "pros," 21 points on "cons," and 8 points on logic, grammar, spelling, and brevity. Keep the memo at one page. 

1. Rejection Letter. Draft a rejection letter to a candidate for your Project Manager Lead position in your organization who was ultimately not selected for the position. This candidate interviewed two times, and traveled to your company (your organization paid for the flight, hotel, and meals) for each interview. You feel that the candidate was highly qualified, and the selected candidate was nearly equal to the rejected one. The deciding factor had been based on a need for diversity, which was one of the only distinguishing features of the two finalists for the position. Your letter should be addressed to Jim Rogers, PMP.

Your letter will be graded on thoughtfulness, and whether it takes into account all of the networking concepts that recruiters should keep in mind while dealing with candidates for a position.
