2. How do you determine the number of individuals to be included in a meet-
ing?

Sample answer:
You have to think of inviting only the right people so this means those who will be
greatly concerned with the meeting’s agenda. You need to make sure that all con-
cerned individuals will be asked so that no one will feel excluded. On the other hand,
too many people can make the meeting unproductive since it can make discussions
disorderly due to too many opinions.

3. How do you choose the proper location to hold a meeting?

Sample answer:
A meeting should take place in a location where the participants will be comfortable
to be able to focus on the agenda. Consider size, location and facilities of a room in
conducting the meeting effectively.

1. You are given a day to present an action plan in your meeting. You are asking
the venue and time of the meeting so you can customize your presentation
as well as maximize your time to prepare.

Sample answer:
I would gladly make a presentation for tomorrow. May I ask the time and venue for
this? There is an LCD projector in the Lincoln conference hall, but I would have to bring
my own laptop right? Since I will be making the action plans, I think it would be better
if I facilitate as well. In that way, I can identify the problems that my action plan wishes
to solve. I will be more than happy if you give suggestions to improve any solution for
the identified problems. Thanks very much for your trust and support.

2. The meeting is scheduled for an hour and a couple of attendees were 15
minutes late. You were explaining issues they had missed after the meet-
ing.

Sample answer:
We’ve already started discussions, please have a seat. We currently don’t have time to
recap what has been discussed so far, so you may approach me to clarify anything you
missed. Someone is taking notes of our discussions and I will ensure that everyone will
receive a copy of what transpired in this meeting. Let’s be on schedule next time to be
able to participate in the discussion. Shall we proceed?
