Question 9 • PHOENIX ACADEMY Communication Skills IC B Tarman

What is the most appropriate way to greet your interviewer Mrs. Mary Jones?

Answer
A
"Hey, Mrs. Jones. I hope I get this job! I really need the work."
B
"Hi, Mary. I'm happy to be here. Thanks for seeing me."
C
"Hello, Mrs. Jones. Thank you for meeting with me today."
D
"Hello, Miss Jones. Sorry I’m a little late. Traffic was horrible."

Explanation

A professional greeting should be polite, respectful, and use the interviewer’s appropriate title and last name. “Hello, Mrs. Jones. Thank you for meeting with me today” does this. Calling her “Mary” is too familiar, while the other greetings are overly casual or begin with an unnecessary excuse.
