Introduction

A new campus recruiter of ABC , Inc , making his very first effort at the company , has almost failed a hire orientation for 15 new trainees . In spite of the lack of time there are several very important things which need to be done as quickly as possible in order to start with the orientation right on time and have all the trainees working as planned as well as some questions which must be clarified
