Wayne Blackman is applying for a position as a radiologic technologist at an imaging center. He feels very confident about his qualifications. After all, he graduated with honors and passed the state licensing exam with high scores. Wayne is unhappy with the interview he had this morning at the center. After hurrying to get there on time, he had to wait 20 minutes for the director, Ms. Rodriguez. Before the interview started, he told her that he thought it was rude to have kept him waiting. During the interview there were two phone calls and some kind of urgent situation with a patient that Ms. Rodriguez had to attend to. This made it difficult for him to fully inform her about his qualifications and spend the time necessary to show off his portfolio. Wayne feels pretty sure he can get the job, though, if Ms. Rodriguez can take the time to look at his academic and test records.

Do you agree with Wayne that he will probably be hired? Explain your answer.

Should Wayne have done anything differently? Why or why not?
