Here is a brief explanation of each step:

  1. Preliminary screening and interview: This is the first step in the selection process. The purpose of this step is to identify the candidates who are the most qualified for the job. This is usually done by reviewing the candidates’ resumes and cover letters, and then conducting phone or in-person interviews.
  2. Selection test and employment interview: This step is designed to further assess the candidates’ qualifications for the job. The selection test may be a written test, an aptitude test, or a personality test. The employment interview is a chance for the candidate to meet with the hiring manager and learn more about the job.
  3. Selection decision and medical examination: After the selection test and employment interview, the hiring manager will make a decision about which candidate to hire. The candidate who is selected will then be required to pass a medical examination before being offered the job.

The following is a brief explanation of why the other options are incorrect:

  • Option B (1, 3, 4, 2) is incorrect because the job offer and contract of employment should not be made before the selection decision has been made.
  • Option C (1, 3, 2, 4) is incorrect because the medical examination should not be conducted before the selection decision has been made.
  • Option D (1, 4, 3, 2) is incorrect because the selection decision should not be made before the selection test and employment interview have been conducted.
