Answer to Question 1

FALSE
It is inappropriate to state the desired salary in the application form. The job interview is the
appropriate time and place to discuss salary. If the form asks for Salary Desired or Salary
Requirement, never include a figure; answer Open or Negotiable.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
It is an ineffective practice to use the salutation To Whom It May Concern in an application
letter. When writing an application letter, always address the letter to a specific recipient. Use
the person's name, if you know it. If you cannot find out the person's name, use a job title,
such as Human Resources Manager or Personnel Director.
