what would you do if you see a co worker stealing and you are sure they are stealing? ( STAR couldnt be applied to this because once I told my Manager it would be in his hands to decide the results of the situation.)

During the group interviews we were split into pairs and asked a scenario question..I don't believe there was a right or wrong answer just how you would handle the situation the best. Then we were asked how to relate one of Allegiant's core values to a situation in our life. After that we waited to see if we moved on to the One-on-One interviews. During this One-on-One I was asked about my strengths and weeknesses, about an emergency situation I have expereinced and how I handled it and about a complicated situation I had at my job and how I handled it. Again no wrong answers. Just be honest and genuine! BE YOURSELF!!!! :-)
