c. Employment Interview
d. Helping Interview

Answer 1

A) Performance Interview

Step-by-step explanation:

Performance interviews are usually carried out once every 3 to 6 months on a regular basis. Your boss, supervisor or manager, will get together with you to analyze how you performed during the last months and specially if your performance was better or worse than the previous period.

The reason why this interviews are carried out is to find out how to improve an employee's performance and if it has been decreasing, how to reverse that situation. Another reason for this type of interview is to set your goals for the next period and any possible bonus at stake. This applies specially to salespeople that earn a small fixed salary + sales commissions + bonuses.
