A nurse who has an interview with the human resources (HR) director enters the office, doesn't make eye contact, and is very timid. Toward the end of the interview the HR director asks the nurse if there are any questions
The nurse states, "No, I think I've learned all I need to know." What impression has this nurse given the HR director? 1. Lack of interest in the position
2. Shyness and the inability to manage people
3. Rudeness
4. Laziness
1
Rationale 1: A candidate who has no questions suggests a lack of interest or expertise. The nurse's inability to make eye contact and appearing timid does not facilitate a good impression.
Rationale 2: While not making eye contact and appearing timid may indicate shyness, the overwhelming impression is a lack of interest.
Rationale 3: The applicant hasn't been rude but appears disengaged.
Rationale 4: There is no real reason to think this applicant is lazy, but the HR director may be reluctant to offer a second interview.
