As the interview at the long-term care facility is coming to a close, the interviewer asks the applicant, "What questions may I answer for you?" Which question would be most likely to create a favorable impression?

a. "After completing the orientation, when will the first pay raise be given?"
b. "Will it be possible to tour a unit such as the one to which I would be assigned?"
c. "What will happen if I can't meet the outcomes for the competency-based orientation?"
d. "Do you have tuition reimbursement for courses toward my next degree?"


ANS: B
This request shows genuine interest in the facility. Asking when the first pay raise will be given indicates you are most interested in salary. Asking what will happen if orientation outcomes cannot be met creates a negative impression. Asking if tuition reimbursement is provided is not as negative as asking when the first pay raise will be given but should be deferred to a later time.
