In this module we learned about the concepts of validity and reliability and why these are important in the selection process. Laws and uniform guidelines for selection issued by the federal government require that all selection devices must be valid and reliable. It is important that HR Managers practice responsible actions that will keep their companies out of court when it comes to practicing valid and reliable selection procedures. Assume that you are a professional Human Resources manager and answer the following questions for this assignment.

Your text described the importance of comprehensive interviews, along with the suggestion that the interviewer prepare a structured set of questions to ask all applicants. Think of three questions for a structured interview that would be highly valid and reliable $($both consistent and relevant to future job success$)$ for each of these two positions below. Explain why you feel these three questions would be valid and reliable for this specific position. Remember that questions like $-$ Why do you want to work here?", "What hours can you work?", "What are your strengths?", and "What are your goals for the future?" would not be specific enough to truly determine validity for performing these specific positions. Think in terms of the essential functions of these jobs and the tasks that they would need to perform, and ask valid questions that would specifically relate to these jobs. You will be graded on how valid and reliable your questions are for each of these two positions. $(9$ points for each position$)$ Accounts payable clerk for a major headquarters.
