marcus was preparing a speech on organized recreational activities. he met with the head of the parks department, dan albright, in his office for an interview. marcus wore casual clothes: t - shirt and jeans. without giving any reasons for requesting the interview, he jumped into his questions, asking mr. albright how many parks there were in the city, and what kind of feedback he received on recreational programs. at the end of the interview marcus thanked mr. albright. what actions were not ideal?
□ marcus shouldnt have asked about how many parks the city has since that information is readily available elsewhere.
□ marcus didnt dress appropriately for a meeting.
□ marcus shouldnt have asked about public feedback; its a hostile question.
□ marcus didnt state the purpose of the interview.

Explanation:

1. A formal interview with a department head requires professional attire, so casual clothes are inappropriate.
2. Asking for public feedback is not hostile; it is a reasonable question for understanding program effectiveness, so this claim is incorrect.
3. Marcus skipped stating the interview's purpose upfront, which is a standard, necessary opening step for a professional interview.
4. Asking about the number of city parks is inefficient because this factual data is publicly available and does not require an interview to obtain.

Answer:

• Marcus shouldn't have asked about how many parks the city has since that information is readily available elsewhere.
• Marcus didn't dress appropriately for a meeting.
• Marcus didn't state the purpose of the interview.
