As the senior private secretary you have been asked to interview three candidates for a position of shorthand-typist. They are:

Miss 'X', aged twenty Mrs 'Y', aged thirty-five (one child, ten years old)

Miss 'Z', aged forty-four.

As all have an acceptable educational standard and the necessary paper qualifications in shorthand and typewriting, what other factors will you wish to investigate regarding each candidate?
If all prove to be equally suitable, state with reasons who would be your personal choice.
In answering, make any assumptions you wish, provided that these are clearly stated.
