Background
ABC Inc. had a new recruiter named Carl Robins who had only been on the job for six months, yet in that short amount of time he had already recruited several potential new employees, and were getting them ready for orientation. Of the new hires, 15 were trainees brought in to work in Operations for Operations Supervisor Monica Carrolls. In order to facilitate ABCs on boarding process, and get these new recruits ready to work for ABC, Carl was to facilitate all new hire applications, and plan a new hire orientation prior to July.
Carl had notified the new hires and the Operations Supervisor that training would take place on June, and a potential work start date for all new hires would be around July 1. As the end of May rolled around following Memorial Day, Carl looked into the new hire files and noticed the files were incomplete. He also looked into the training material and discovered the same type deficiencies.

Carl had only two weeks to:
Gather all incomplete applications for each new hire

Send any new hires who had not yet received physicals to the doctor in enough time to complete the physicals and get the results prior to training.
Build a new orientation manual from the incomplete manual, and have 15 copies available for the training.
Reserve a meeting room large enough to accommodate the 15 new hires and a couple of guests.
