Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Body language and eye contact are strong influencers, but it is equally important that you act like you are ready to be in the workplace. Starting from when you walk in the door, your professional presence can make a strong, positive, and lasting impression.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) One well-established method of responding to behavioral questions is to use the STAR Method, which stands for situation, task, action, and result. Using this framework, you develop a story that identifies a situation in which you completed a task (such as solving a problem or making a decision) by implementing a specific action that ended in a positive result. Research suggests that problem-solving stories are a powerful way to communicate competence.
