360.org, an organization working toward curbing climate change, recently conducted an interview with Jessica for the position of a public relations officer. However, interviewers Brenda and Laura are divided over whether Jessica should be given the job. Brenda believes that Jessica does not have in-depth knowledge about the issue of global warming and its impact. On the other hand, Laura feels that Jessica would be perfect for the job because she has strong interpersonal skills. Which of the following, if true, would weaken Laura's argument?
Jessica was unable to communicate clearly why she was right for the job.

Answer 1

Jessica was unable to communicate clearly why she was right for the job.

Explanation:

Normally in an interview board of members are present to judge the skill, personality and suitability of the candidate for the post. One member is assigned to judge subject knowledge of the candidate, one is for judging skill or efficiency and other or more is for assessing personality.

Sometimes, introvert and shy candidates get nervous in front of board members and that's why they have misunderstood by the recruiters that they are not having proper knowledge or skill. But its not like that. Communication is a very vital thing which mainly comes with experience. Fresher generally go through this problem of proper exposure at right place.
