Directions:
Read each prompt option carefully and choose one option to respond to.
Your response should address the prompt’s question in a well-organized, multi-paragraph format.
Include detailed explanations to support your answer.
Your response should be professional in language and tone.
Your response should be approximately 2-3 paragraphs or 450-600 words.
Option 1:
Your company has always had a flexible break policy. Each employee is allowed to take a total of 90 minutes (or an hour and a half) of break time daily. Employees can decide how they use that time. Some examples of break time use are
Three 30-minute breaks
One 60-minute (or one hour) lunch break and a separate 30-minute break
One 60-minute (or one hour) lunch break and two 15-minute breaks
One long 90-minute (or hour and a half) lunch break, with no other breaks during the day
The human resources manager has stated some concern in the flexibility of the break policy because sometimes, multiple employees take 90-minute lunch breaks at the same time, and there is not enough support for work production during that time. He has proposed changing the policy to require all employees to take a 60-minute lunch break and two 15-minute breaks. Before making the change official, however, he has asked for employees to provide their preferences on how break times should be used.
Write an email to the human resources manager expressing your opinion about the break time policy.
Option 2:
In job interviews, it is common for the interviewer to ask questions to determine how applicants would handle hypothetical situations. These behavioral questions help the interviewer to better understand the applicants’ abilities, including problem-solving, customer service, and teamwork skills. They also require applicants to think on their feet, as they must explain how they would handle the situation in a way that demonstrates their abilities and persuades the interviewer that they are well-suited for the position.
Imagine you are interviewing for your dream job, and the interviewer asks you this question: You are working on a major project and are halfway finished. You realize that you’ve made a huge mistake, and now you must start the project over to fix it. However, you have a very tight deadline to meet. How would you handle this situation?
