All interested candidates must submit the following by the 10th of June, 2022.

1. Cover letter

2. CV

3. Copy of their Identification document.

Open advertisement on various platforms that would have the interested candidates apply will help. It should be open to avoid problems with gender discrimination where everyone who is qualified can try and their performance will give them a chance whether male or female (Walsh, 2016).

Corey Grant meets the requirements. However, even though Franklin preferred a female, the advertisement was open to all genders to avoid making it gender discriminatory. However, If I am the HR like Alyssa, I think it is right to consider the job requirements and the interest of the patients. Patients need a nurse who is competent and qualified to offer the care they deserve. The organization, the Odesa branch of Personally Yours Inc., needs an employee who is competent to handle the patient's needs. This is what is more important and Corey Grant meets the qualifications which make it worth giving him a chance. Corey should be allowed to undergo the interview process as the rest of the applicants (Walsh, 2016).

During the interview and selection process, one should prove they understand what is expected of them should they get the job. First, they have to show what they would do when handling the patients in the facilities to help test their skills and experience. This practical practice as part of the interview will help them understand what kind of training they should be subjected to when hired and what kind of patients should they handle. Their ability to work under pressure will be tested. It will help them understand their reaction when under challenging situations.
