Answer to Question 2

Explanation: 1. Arriving at work early will allow the manager time to review the rsum and focus on the
questions to ask the candidate. If an interview needs to be rescheduled, it should be done
within a reasonable amount of time to give the candidate enough notice. Arriving at the usual
time may result in an inadequate interview. Having human resources interview the candidate
is not an efficient use of time and the candidate may regard the interviewing process as
unprofessional.
