What would you do if you got conflicting information from two different sources within an organization?In: Job Interviews |
[Edit] |
Answer
I would talk directly to the sources if they are human, and then talk to a third human source if they continue to be conflicting. Preferrably a third party who has observed whatever info you would be needing. I would point out the discrepancy and get it clarified.
If the conflicting information is written in a report, than I would go directly to who wrote the info - whether it's a co-worker, supervisor, etc. I would point out that there is a discrepancy and get it clarified.
If the information is involving a serious matter, then I would request backup sources when it is corrected to know that the new information is for real and not another error. I would also request explanation on why the sources conflicted, and a response as to how to prevent that from occuring again.
If the information cannot be clarified after going after the sources, than most likely it's an organization you don't want to be a part of.
