Alberta Basic Security Training (ABST) Practice Exam 2024

What should you do before interviewing someone?

1. Ask permission

2. Check their background

3. Make them comfortable

4. Tell them the purpose

The correct answer is: Ask permission

Before interviewing someone, it is important to ask for their permission first. This allows the person to be prepared and willing to participate in the interview. Additionally, it shows respect for the individual's time and allows them to mentally prepare for the interview. Option B is incorrect because checking someone's background is typically done before offering them an interview, not before conducting the actual interview. Option C is not incorrect, but it is not the most important step to take before interviewing someone. Making someone comfortable can help the interview process, but it is not necessary before starting the interview. Finally, option D is not the best answer because it is not specific enough. Simply telling the person the purpose does not fully prepare them for the interview or gain their consent to participate.
