    • Informality

    Correct Answer
    A. Purpose
    Explanation
    Interviews are conversations with a specific purpose in mind.

The purpose of an interview is to assess the candidate's abilities, experience, and fit for the role, allowing the interviewer to make an informed decision.

    What is typically NOT considered part of a job compensation package?

    • Incentive pay

    • Benefits

    • Salary

    • Funds to pay taxes

    Correct Answer
    A. Funds to pay taxes
    Explanation
    Funds to pay taxes are typically not considered part of a job compensation package because it is the responsibility of the employee to pay their own taxes. Job compensation packages usually include components such as salary, benefits, and incentive pay, which are provided by the employer as part of the overall compensation for the employee's work. However, funds to pay taxes are not typically provided by the employer and are the responsibility of the employee to manage and pay independently.

    • The follow-up

    Correct Answer
    A. The thank- you note
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the thank-you note. After the interview process is complete, it is considered good etiquette to send a thank-you note to the interviewer as a gesture of appreciation for their time and consideration. This note allows the candidate to express gratitude, reiterate their interest in the position, and leave a positive impression on the interviewer. It also provides an opportunity to mention any additional information or qualifications that may not have been covered during the interview.

    All job interviews have the same objective.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    All job interviews have the same objective because regardless of the industry or position, the purpose of a job interview is to assess the candidate's qualifications, skills, and fit for the role. The objective is to determine if the candidate is the right fit for the job and the company. This objective remains consistent across different job interviews, even though the specific questions and evaluation criteria may vary. Therefore, it can be concluded that all job interviews have the same objective.

    • What are your weaknesses?

    • What are your qualifications?

    • What are your long-term goals?

    • Can you tell me how you work under pressure?

    Correct Answer
    A. Can you tell me how you work under pressure?
    Explanation
    The question "Can you tell me how you work under pressure?" is not a standard interview question because it is asking for a specific example or explanation of how the candidate handles pressure. Standard interview questions typically focus on the candidate's qualifications, weaknesses, and long-term goals, rather than asking for a detailed description of their behavior in specific situations.

    • Resume review

    • Questions and answers

    • Presentation of the company or position

    • Closing

    Correct Answer
    A. Questions and answers
    Explanation
    During the interview process, the actual "business meeting" part takes place during the questions and answers portion. This is when the interviewer asks the candidate various questions related to their skills, experience, and qualifications, and the candidate responds with their answers. It is during this interaction that both parties have the opportunity to assess each other's suitability for the position and determine if there is a good fit. The questions and answers segment is a crucial part of the interview as it allows for a deeper understanding of the candidate's capabilities and allows the candidate to showcase their expertise and suitability for the role.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of these is not a type of interview?

    • Screening interview

    • Stress interview

    • Music interview

    • Lunch interview

    Correct Answer
    A. Music interview
    Explanation
    A music interview is not a type of interview as it does not pertain to the traditional process of assessing a candidate's qualifications and suitability for a job. A screening interview is conducted to determine if a candidate meets the basic requirements for a position, a stress interview aims to evaluate a candidate's behavior under pressure, and a lunch interview involves assessing a candidate's social skills and compatibility with the company culture. However, a music interview is not a recognized method of evaluating a candidate's suitability for a job role.

    How many styles are used in a screening interview?

    • 2

    • 5

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    In a screening interview, typically only two styles are used. This is because a screening interview is a preliminary step in the hiring process where the interviewer assesses the basic qualifications and suitability of the candidate for the position. Therefore, the focus is usually on asking straightforward questions and gathering essential information about the candidate's skills, experience, and fit for the role. This limited scope of the screening interview necessitates a more straightforward and streamlined approach, hence the use of only two styles.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Behavioral-based questions are best answered through the use of

    • Proof stories

    • Skill stories

    • Result stories

    • Personal stories

    Correct Answer
    A. Proof stories
    Explanation
    Proof stories are the best way to answer behavioral-based questions. These stories provide concrete evidence of your skills and abilities by sharing specific examples of past experiences and accomplishments. By using proof stories, you can demonstrate your competence and showcase your qualifications to the interviewer. This type of storytelling allows you to provide tangible proof of your capabilities, making your answers more convincing and persuasive.
