Question 1: You are in the process of hiring a new employee.

How would you go about framing your argument in terms of a realistic job preview's financial impact on your organization?

Question 2: Table 10.2 "Realistic Job Preview Videos" provides a list of a wide range of realistic job preview videos. Select one of the videos and then answer the following questions.
