[All PHR Questions]

John is the HR Professional for his organization. He is interviewing Sally for a sales position and he has asked Sally to provide an instance of how she worked with a tough customer in the past, how Sally resolved the situation, and what the outcome of the experience was. This is what type of interviewing technique?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

This is a classical example of the behavior-based interview. Sally will need to tell a story to John about her past experiences with a difficult customer and what the outcome of the situation was.

Answer option D is incorrect. A stress interview deliberately creates a stressful environment to test the candidate's response in the stress.

Answer option A is incorrect. A prescreen interview is used to determine which candidates qualify for the job requirements and to make decisions if additional interviews are needed.

Answer option C is incorrect. A directive interview is where the HR Professional controls the interview process through a predefined set of questions for all interviewees.

I thought it could be a stress interview too, though.

I was confused about the different types, but I feel like stress interviews are more about putting candidates under pressure, so that doesn't fit here.

I remember practicing similar questions, and I think the key is that it asks for specific examples, which points to behavior-based.

I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like it could also be a prescreen interview since they're assessing her fit for the role.

I think this is a behavior-based interview because it focuses on past experiences to predict future performance.

Okay, I think I've got it. The question is asking about what performance management component employees can create, and the options are Goals, Workflows, Performance reviews, and Performance Journal. Based on my understanding, the correct answer is Goals.

This question is right up my alley! Keeping the transaction log in the database makes a lot of sense from an architectural standpoint. It allows for better replication and synchronization between data centers, which is a key concern for enterprise applications.
