For whom is the passage intended to? A. An employee. B. An employer. C. An interviewee. D. An interviewer.

The passage focuses on the employment interview from the perspective of someone seeking a job, mentioning "the applicant seeks to persuade the employer" and advising "A job applicant has the responsibility for getting certain types of information." These clues indicate the intended audience is individuals applying for jobs.

The term "interviewee" specifically refers to a person being interviewed, which aligns with the passage's focus on the applicant's role and responsibilities in the employment interview process. Employers or interviewers (options B and D) would be on the opposite side of the interaction, while "employee" (option A) refers to someone already hired, not in the application stage.
