Case Study:- Ione is asked to fill two new positions at her company. The first requires complicated accounting knowledge; the second has no prerequisites but there is no opportunity for advancement without a college degree, preferably in advertising or English. Ione wants to hire younger workers so they will be more likely to have a long tenure at the firm. She places an advertisement in the local public university's alumni magazine, requesting résumés from "recent college graduates," Business or English degrees preferred. Ione's co-worker suggested that she place the advertisement in their mutual alma matter's magazine, since many of the current employees graduated from there and employees from that university have proven knowledgeable and hard working. Ione decides not to place advertisements at this time in the alumni magazines of the two local private universities, a Jesuit in-state and a historically black college that is very close to her offices, and which has a well-regarded business program.
