Answer 1

Just we should set the below code from the view xml file and also
add the depended module as hr in your openerp.py and set the view xml file path as well.
Add below code in your .py file
class hr_employee(models.Model):
_inherit='hr.employee'
_description="Informations du Candidats"
situation=fields.Selection(string="Situation",selection=[('Nouveau','Nouveau'),('RDV Thechnique','RDV Technique'),('Annulation','Annulationn')])
Add below code in your .xml file
<record id="hr_recrutement_caindidat_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">Candidat</field>
<field name="model">hr.employee</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="hr.view_employee_form" />
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="field[#name='work_location']" position="after">
<field name="situation" />
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
Hear We have to set the position of your element based on xpath using before,after,inside,replace Attributes of xpath tag.
I hope my answer may helpful for you :)
