question 25

Multiple Choice

You are one of four people on a search committee interviewing candidates for a marketing manager position in your department. The Human Resources (HR) department has asked each person on the committee to provide feedback after every interview. The candidate you interviewed this afternoon, Mr. Zoolander, did not seem at ease, and you were disappointed in several of his responses to questions. Which passage would be best to include in your email to the HR department?

• A) I was disappointed with several of Mr. Zoolander's responses to our questions. He did not show that he had thought deeply about the issues our department is facing.
• B) Zoolander is a no-go. Kind of a bug-eyed weirdo if you ask me.
• C) Zoolander almost blew a gasket when I asked him for a specific example of his leadership. And he went to that college on the other side of the state? That's all you need to know right there.
• D) Mr. Zoolander presents a curious case for this committee. I think his nervousness belies his enthusiasm for the position, but one cannot be too sure. I find myself in a position of ambivalence.
