Answer to Question 1

A
Using salary surveys that are published nationally is a good way to find out what the
competitive salary for employees with your job responsibilities is. It is important to adjust these
figures for the cost-of-living differences in your area.

Answer to Question 2

B
The most appropriate action for Teresa to take is telephoning and informing the employer
about her decision. Writing a letter would have been appropriate if her reporting date was two
or more weeks away or if the representative offering the job was out of town.
