Joni is applying for a position at a local hospital as a receptionist. Which of these factors would have the MOST impact on her
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

D) Her success in extracurricular activities

Explanation:

In this scenario, Joni wants to become a receptionist at a local hospital, which requires abilities such as good interpersonal skills and excellent communication abilities and other personal attributes that are important in an environment that involves dealing with patients, such as kindness and the ability to display empathy.

From these options, her graduation rank, religious affiliation, or bilingual / multilingual capabilities are not as important as <u>her success in extracurricular activities because the latter usually involve high levels or socialization and allow an individual to develop good communication skills.</u>

It is important to mention that this also depends on where Joni is located as well, for instance, if this hospital is located in an area with a high level of diversity (e.g. London or Los Angeles), <u>her ability to speak more than one language would also be highly relevant.</u>
