An LPN/LVN applicant wishes to use knowledge of interpersonal styles to his benefit during a job interview. He assesses the interviewer to be a "results-focused" person. Which behavior should he adopt?
a. Answer the interviewer's questions in detail.
b. Try to interject information about himself as a person (e.g., his hobbies).
c. Look for ways to interject humor into the interview.
d. Keep answers to the point and relatively brief.
ANS: D
The LPN/LVN will supply answers without belaboring the point. Moving things along appeals to results-oriented people. Answering the interviewer's questions in detail and trying to interject personal information are not the best ideas. Results-oriented people like shorter, well-organized answers that do not deviate from the topic. Results-oriented people may have a sense of humor, but it's better not to risk being seen as not serious.
