Answer these questions:

Question 1: Develop a detailed selection plan for the position of a department manager to determine the most important KSAOs for this position.

Question 2: Using the selection plan, develop a standardized interview protocol consisting of 10 questions that will be asked of all candidates, along with scoring keys for each question. Be specific with the scoring key.
