Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The LPN/LVN will supply answers without belaboring the point. Moving things along appeals to results-oriented people. Answering the interviewer's questions in detail and trying to interject personal information are not the best ideas. Results-oriented people like shorter, well-organized answers that do not deviate from the topic. Results-oriented people may have a sense of humor, but it's better not to risk being seen as not serious.
