Interview AnalysisJuly 20th is a very hot day in your community. You are not looking forward to working, but you have to hire someone to fill avacancy in your legal department. There are four applicants waiting in the lobby. You can see them through your windowalthough they cannot see you. You make the following observations:Candidate A is wearing a blue and white dress. She is focused on her phone and seems to be playing a game. She isrelaxed, has her high-heel shoes off, and has her feet folded in the chair. She seems startled when Candidate C comesover to speak with her. When you interview the candidate, she is clearly knowledgeable about the field but speaks with alot of slang and has short answers. She seldom makes eye contact.Candidate B has on a suit and seems to be multitasking. He moves papers around in a briefcase while speaking on thephone. His papers fall on the floor at least twice. He smiles at Candidate C when she picks up his papers and introducesherself, then returns to his phone conversation. He seems to be a bit distracted during the interview but mostly givespolished and rehearsed answers. His resume is impeccable.Candidate C is wearing a suit. She checks her phone and then puts it down and turns to assist Candidate B, whosepapers fall on the ground. She introduces herself to him, and they shake hands before he returns to his phoneconversation. She walks over to Candidates A and D and introduces herself, and you notice that she is wearing sandals.She is very personable during the interview. She clearly does not have much experience but asks many thoughtfulquestions.Candidate D looks relaxed in black pants and a green shirt with a matching tie. He sits by himself, reading from hisphone without looking up at the others. He seems reluctant to speak to Candidate C when she walks up to him. He hasthe most experience of all the candidates and delivers very professional answers during the interview. He does not smileonce during the interview.Part 1: Choose ONE of the four candidates to hire. Write a short summary describing the verbal and nonverbalcommunication as well as the listening skills of the candidate who caused you to choose him or her over the othercandidates. Compare the effectiveness of using nonverbal communication skills versus verbal communication skills in thissituation. Feel free to make up interview details not given above as long as they do not contradict the given information. Yoursummary should be 250 to 500 words.Part 2: Write a “bad-news letter” to ONE of the four candidates described above. Your choice does not matter, but the goalof this assignment is to inform the candidate you select that he or she did NOT get the job that he or she interviewed for.Prepare for the assignment by researching business letter format, tips, and tone. The required and suggested readings forthis unit are a good place to start, but do not let those limit your search or the format you choose. Begin with an introduction,and perhaps thank the interviewee for his or her interest in the position. Always start with something positive. Then, move tothe bad news—let the candidate know that he or she was not chosen for the position. Immediately follow with somethingpositive, perhaps encouraging the person to apply later. Feel free to add details that are not included in the scenarios above.Your letter should be brief, within the range of 250 to 500 words. Do NOT use APA formatting as you are writing a businessletter and this is not an academic essay. Combine both parts of the assignment into one document, and submit theassignment in Blackboard.Information about accessing the grading rubric for this assignment is provided below
