Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) The functional rsum emphasizes the skills that qualify you for the position. This format is appropriate for applicants who have limited work experience related to the position, for example students who are pursuing internships or professional positions immediately after graduation and who have no related work experience.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) During this first stage of rsum review, employers aim to identify the most qualified candidates out of a pool of applicants. In these brief moments, employers focus on a few critical data points: your name; where you currently work, your start date, and your title; where you previously worked, your start and end date, and your title; and your education.
