Question

Jakub Liska · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Situational interviews are designed to simulate real-life scenarios and ask interviewees to respond to them on the spot. This allows employers to assess how candidates would perform in situations that may arise in the job. Option B is incorrect because situational interviews can use traditional questions along with specific situational questions. Option C is incorrect because behavioural interviews focus on the actual behaviours of candidates, not situational interviews. Option D is incorrect because situational interviews ask candidates how they would respond to hypothetical scenarios, not what they did in a previous situation.
