Case Study:

Paula is in 6th semester at The Business School. She has sent her résumé out to several companies for full-time employment. She has received a call from AJAX Communications, a company she wants to work for the most, saying they would be on campus tomorrow, and inviting her for an interview at 11:00 am. Paula is frantic. She hasn't prepared for any interview questions, and she doesn't feel like she has the right kind of clothes or haircut to make a good impression. She also has a full schedule of classes tomorrow, including an exam.
