Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. The second interview usually includes colleagues and managers with whom you will work.
Situational questions are often asked. Your goal is to show you are a competent, confident
professional. You may be asked questions regarding how well you work with others, but the
interviewers are inquiring about your competence.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Send a post-interview thank you letter within 24 hours of the interview to everyone who
interviewed you. It should be brief, thanking them for the interview and their interest in you,
and stating your enjoyment of the meeting. Calling the interviewer and the unit is
unprofessional and may hinder your candidacy for the position.
