Write a short note on the closing of an interview.
On Jul 01, 2024
Answers will vary. The interviewer will provide cues indicating that the interview is completed by rising or making a comment about the next step to be taken. At that point, do not prolong the interview needlessly. Simply rise, accept the handshake, thank the interviewer for the opportunity to meet, and close by saying you look forward to hearing from the company. The tact with which you close the interview can be almost as important as the first impression you made. Be enthusiastic. If you really want the job, you must ask for it.
Your ability to speak confidently and intelligently about your abilities will help you secure a desirable job. Effective interviewing skills will be just as valuable once you begin work. You will be involved in interviews with your supervisor for various reasons: to seek advice or information about your work and working conditions, to receive informal feedback about your progress, to receive a deserved promotion, and to discuss other personnel matters. In addition, your supervisor will likely conduct a performance appraisal interview to evaluate your performance. This formal interview typically occurs annually on the anniversary of your start of employment.

Peter O'Toole is a new accountant with First Step Company. First Step purchased merchandise on account for $18000. The credit terms are 2/10 n/30. Peter has talked with the company's banker and knows that he could earn 5% on any money invested in the company's savings account.
Instructions
(a) Should Peter pay the invoice within the discount period or should he keep the $18000 in the money market account and pay at the end of the credit period? Support your recommendation with a calculation showing which action would be best.
(b) If Peter forgoes the discount it may be viewed as paying an interest rate of 2% for the use of $18000 for 20 days. Calculate the annual rate of interest that this is equivalent to.
