During an interview the interviewee gives vague, lengthy answers when answering each question. The interviewee is talking with a peer who had an interview for the same position.

The interviewee informs the peer of his answers to the interviewers questions. Which of the following would be an appropriate response by the peer? 1. Why did you give that answer?
2. You should have given short and to-the-point answers.
3. You gave good answers.
4. I think your answers were specific.

Question 2

You have just interviewed with a nurse manager. The manager offers you an opportunity to tour the unit and meet coworkers. This is beneficial because it allows you:

1. The opportunity to learn about the unit and ask coworkers questions.
2. The opportunity to determine whether it is the right environment.
3. The opportunity to assess your coworkers.
4. To determine nurse-to-client ratios.

Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Situational questions are often asked. Keep your answers short and to the point. Your goal is to
show you are a competent, confident professional.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Interviewing with potential coworkers is also your opportunity to find out what you want to
know about specific responsibilities and challenges of the position. The interviewee will have
an opportunity to assess the environment and coworkers but this will not provide a true
assessment of the environment. The interviewee will have the opportunity to question
coworkers regarding nurse-to-client ratios.
