May 25, 2009

To: Victoria Lopez

From: Bob Darling

Subject: Interview with John Pop

This morning I interviewed John Pop for the secretarial position. Since the position requires a lot of contact with the public, I did some stress questioning. I asked Mr. Pop why couldn’t he work under pressure. I also asked him why his supervisor disliked him. Finally I inquired when he would quit the job with our company?

Mr. Pop kept his poise throughout the interview. He answered all my questions calmly, and he had some excellent questions of his own. He asked “if we expected changes in the job.” He also wanted to know how often do we evaluate employees. I was quite impressed when he asked why did I decide to join the company.
