Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. Following guidelines and questions provided by HR are appropriate steps in conducting an
interview. At times the manager may have to ask a very specific question related to the job. As
long as the question is related to job performance, the question is appropriate. Asking
questions in third person may still violate state and federal regulations.
