She could well have left school at 16 and done her A levels in night class showing that she is dedicated and wishes always to improve. However, assuming this is an English / European company do they employ people below 16 in a call centre? If the answer is no then her work experience doesn't leave much time for her to be experienced at her current position.

Answer to question 1 - I'd say 0, meaning she wouldn't get the job and negating all other questions.

However if she was employed at a call centre in Indian she may have started her employment at 14 meaning she is experienced for the job she is applying for. Again the assumption is still that she did her A levels at night school.

1) 18 (depends on other applicants)

2) 20

4) 10

3) 10

1) On a scale of 0-20, how likely do you think they are to get the job?

2) On a scale of 0-20, how good do you think they will be at the job?

4) On a scale of 0-20, how easily do you think they will fit into the workplace?

3) On a scale of 0-20, how often do you think they will take a day off work?

Out of interest how did someone manage to do 3 A Levels despite working full time since they were 16?

Anyway:

1)18
2)15
4)15
3)10

And I'd work on getting the sequencing of numbers right before doing anything else... :P
