Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Even if the interviewer is of a different cultural background, he or she may be fully comfortable interviewing applicants of another culture. One should be more interested in communicating interest in the job and qualifications than in mimicking the interviewer. The interviewer should be given the opportunity to establish norms concerning how to communicate. One cannot anticipate using any of these options, initially.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This action shows dependability. Employers expect applicants to follow up if they are truly interested in the position. Monday mornings are poor times to call. People are trying to get organized for the week to follow. Calling on Friday is also a poor time to call. People are finishing last-minute details before leaving for the weekend.
