The nurse manager is interviewing a potential unit clerk. The manager is looking for the most reliable employee. Which of the following is inappropriate to ask during the interview?
1. ?Tell me about your last job.?
2. ?May I contact your past employers??
3. ?Do you have young children??
4. ?What are your professional goals??
3
Explanation: 1. The manager may not assume that family obligations such as young children will affect job
performance. Inquiring about a previous job, contacting past employers, and professional goals
are appropriate questions to ask during a job interview. Contacting the past employer may be
the most predictive factor in employee reliability.
