Juanita Perez strongly believes in working for a company that promotes diversity. She is currently enrolled with you in a graduate program with a major in human resources management, and she aspires to become a chief diversity officer (CDO) in an organization respectful of differences. You have taken several courses with her, and you both have discussed the fact that adult learners want to be involved and gain more exposure in the operations of the company they work for. You understand that she is searching for a new job.

Recently, Juanita attended an interview, where she was told that the company follows policies that focus on organizational diversity. This was very encouraging, and she left the interview with a very positive feeling. Based on what she learned about selecting the right job early in one's career, she decided to research the company's claims. In addition, she wanted to look back on the Life Styles Inventory data results (LSI) to review her personality traits and interests before considering taking a job if it was offered from this company.

Three days later, Juanita received a telephone call from the Human Resources department offering her the position she interviewed for the week prior. Based on the research findings she gathered after her visit to the company and your understanding of using the LSI assessment tool for career decisions, please offer Juanita your recommendation based on the data she shared with you about the organization she is thinking about joining. She has to respond back with her decision within 48 hours and e-mailed you for your constructive analysis of the data and advice. Reflect on the research findings below, and prepare a detailed e-mail with your recommendation. Substantiate your argument and be specific to accept or turn down the job offer. Juanita's research about the company includes the following:

85% percent of the top management positions in the company are held by men.

She is the only Hispanic, Spanish-speaking female in this division.

The workforce is not dominated by any specific ethnic or racial group.

The employees she talked with during her interview believe that they are treated equally in spite of differences in performance.

Juanita's LSI assessment points out positive leadership attributes and communication skills verbal/written.
