Employer Openness Survey When contacting the manager in regards to setting up an interview, he portrayed himself as an open-minded and reasonable employer who stated that he has hired individuals with disabilities in the past. Hearing this news helped me formulate my decision to analyze Gateway Inn and the housekeeping position the company offers. What are your company’s strengths? The manager did not hesitate at all when responding to this question. He mentioned the company to be a clean product and a great value for the area.

One of his employees recently returned from a 6-month absence because of an injury. “If they definitely plan to return from work, I would rather hold the job for them than to rehire and train someone new. If I have to, I’ll hire someone for the position temporarily until the old employee returns.” Considering that there is a formal approach to this matter, I rated the answer a scoring of
