Q Open and Closed Define the type of organizational interview being conducted, select the right kind of question, and then formulate an open or closed question appropriate for the situation. Procedure: Work independently in Step 1 and then provide a peer review of another students post on the discussion board by Monday, August 9. Step 1: Identify what type of organizational interview is being conducted in each of the following three scenarios. Next, determine the appropriate type of question to use in each scenario and then formulate at least two specific questions to elicit the needed information. Scenario A: You are a newly hired product manager seeking historical sales data about your frozen food products so you can prepare a budget for next year, which is due in two days. You will be interviewing the head of accounting, who has just a few minutes to spare because she also has to prepare her next year’s budget. Scenario B: As the head of marketing for a food company, you need to find a product manager to replace one who is planning to retire next month. In particular, you need someone who is experienced in finding and implementing creative ideas for innovative new products. Scenario C: As the vice president of marketing, you supervise a team of six salespeople. You want to give your newest salesperson mixed feedback about her team participation and find out what’s behind her behavior. Step 2: Review another student’s answers on each of the three scenarios and discuss points of agreement and disagreement. Did the student correctly categorize the type of interview? Did you agree on the type of question most appropriate for that situation?
