[humanser] some may find this of interest

[Merry Schoch]

Good Morning Everyone,

Well, the answer was B".  I will admit I answered "D"  because I thought the
social worker would have looked in to the "essential functions of the job"
before arranging an interview.  Bad assumption on my part.  However, after
finding out I got the answer incorrect, and reading the reasoning for the
answer, it makes sense since a social worker would not contact the manager
without getting the client's permission...self-determination in NFB terms
self-advocacy.  

Thanks for your participation,
Merry

I always trip myself up over these questions. I know the word "first" is the
most important part of the question.  But, to Shannon's point, what may have
been done already? Still, these questions are pretty formulaic. The trick is
knowing what the testers think, not over-thinking the answer and not
complicating the question by thinking about what would happen in a real
situation, which often doesn't fit conveniently into a multiple choice
answer.
I can play "what if" till I really confuse myself, but I'm still sticking
with B.
