Question 1: Pre-employment testing

Donna owns a cosmetic company and is hiring individuals to sell her products at parties in the homes of their friends, to business leads solicited by telephone inquiries, and at local schools. Donna decides she will not need to conduct any pre-employment tests because the job requires only basic skills. She will provide each employee with company invoices to be used to sell the products and to collect the money. Once Donna receives the order and payment, she will give the products to each employee, who will be responsible for delivering the items. Do you agree with Donna that there is no need for any pre-employment tests? Why or why not?
