Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Many potential employers may assume that your grades were not very high if you do not include your GPA on your rsum. You are not obligated to include your GPA, but you may face questions about it in interviews.

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Concrete proof is better than blanket statements without evidence to back them up. Show your abilities by giving examples rather than simply stating them outright, and allow potential employers to draw conclusions about your abilities on their own.
