In addition to the written test, for specific jobs the company also requires its applicants to perform a sample of the job. Before implementing the tests, the management analyzes how well the test actually correlates and predicts job performance. When SonicStar Inc. needed to downsize, the company helped employees who were laid off to get placed in other organizations, and immediate supervisors talked to the employees about the reasons for their dismissal. When SonicStar Inc. needed to downsize, the dismissed employees' immediate supervisors discussed the need for downsizing with them. This is an example of a(n) ________.

		situational interview
		termination interview
		behavioral description interview

Answer 1

The correct answer is termination interview.

Employees who are facing termination, lay-off, downsizing, etc have to participate in termination interview where the line manager discuss about the reason for termination. This is also referred as exit interview where the main objective is to engage in give-and-take discussions. In this scenario, SonicStar Inc. downsized where employees are asked to leave and the immediate supervisor of the employees discussed the need for downsizing with them, so this is an example of termination interview.
