When presented with interview questions beginning with phrases like "tell me about a time when" or "give me an example of" the interviewer wants to hear your real-life examples. When interviewers ask such behavioral interview questions, they are listening for examples of how you handled situations similar to the ones you may handle for this company.

The Senate should consider every Federal Judge that is nominated by the president. After the president takes the time to consider and nominate a possible judge, the Senate should show respect by considering the president and his decisions. This keeps a good working relationship between the Senate and the president. The Constitution says the president needs the advice and consent of the Senate to appoint a Federal Judge. The Senate did not respond to President Obama’s nomination of a federal judge, so the nomination expired. When President Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch and Senate did give advice and consent.
Reevaluation of Walmart’s training is necessary and is supported by current research which finds that there is a link between training and expect organizational and human resource outcomes. Research find that “that companies that conduct training are more likely to have more positive human resource outcomes and greater performance outcomes” (Noe, 2013, p. 234).

The Law enforcement system is one of the major components within the Criminal Justice System. According to the National Center for Victims of Crime (2008), The Law enforcement system plays a critical key role within the Criminal Justice system, since “Law enforcement officers take reports for crimes that happen in the area, then the officers investigate crimes and both gather and protect evidence, officers may arrest offenders, give testimony during the court process, and conduct follow up investigations if needed.” In addition, in this essay I will be discussing about, the cause and effect of how the law enforcement system relates to unethical behavior, to police subcultures, and finally, corruption prevention programs.
