Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
These questions have been determined to be illegal for the interviewer to ask. They do not relate to the interviewee's ability to meet the criteria set forth in the job description. The remaining options may be somewhat difficult to answer but are not illegal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Never mention negative feelings about the agency or its personnel in a letter of resignation. A positive work reference may be needed at a later time. Reread the previous two sentences. It is not a wise idea to list suggestions for agency improvement. This suggests negative feelings about the agency. Proper notice is an important courtesy. Abrupt departure may mean the individual is not eligible to be rehired at a future time.
