Details: Your firm is hiring a new marketing manager. You and one of the other senior managers have been interviewing candidates.
A candidate just completed the interview process and has the following skills, background and characteristics:
Hispanic Woman

When you ask "why" your co-worker only states that he does not think this person is a good fit and that the search should continue.

1-What type(s) of heuristic(s) may be present in formulating your co-workers opinion? Explain how you came to your conclusions (support your findings).
