• B) explain what the last person who held the job earned so that they are aware of what to expect in regard to compensation.
• C) focus your questions around the candidate's education to identify whether or not you will need to spend money on additional training for them.
• D) avoid discussing the mission, vision, and goals of the organization since the applicant can get that information off of your website.
