Answer 1

Answer:

Correct Answer:

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

Explanation:

In the job interview which Jessica attended, her application for the position of a public relation officer would be greatly weakened due to her inability to communicate clearly why she was the right candidate for the job despite Laura believing that she is suitable for the job due to her strong interpersonal skill.

This is because, interpersonal skill entails ability of someone to  interact with others effectively and work well with others. Interpersonal skills range from communication, listening and to attitude.
