Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Email and IM are also sometimes used in the screening stage. Although you have almost no opportunity to send and receive nonverbal signals with these formats, you do have the major advantage of being able to review and edit each response before you send it. Maintain a professional style in your responses, and be sure to ask questions that demonstrate your knowledge of the company and the position.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) In a group interview, one or more interviewers meet with several candidates simultaneously. A key purpose of a group interview is to observe how the candidates interact. Group interviews can be tricky, because you want to stand out while coming across as a supportive team player. Be sure to treat your fellow candidates with respect, while looking for opportunities to demonstrate the depth of knowledge you have about the company and its needs.
