Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) You've already done some initial research to identify companies of interest, but when you're invited to an interview, it's time to dig a little deeper. Making this effort demonstrates your interest in the company, and it identifies you as a business professional who knows the importance of investigation and analysis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Turn off your smartphone before an interview. It's highly unlikely that you will receive a call that is important enough to interrupt your interview.
