Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: If you don't land a job at your dream company on the first attempt, don't give up. You can apply again if a new opening appears, or you can send an updated rsum with a new unsolicited application letter that describes how you have gained additional experience, taken a relevant course, or otherwise improved your skill set. Many leading employers take note of applicants who came close but didn't quite make it and may extend offers when positions open up in the future.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) In a solicited letter, be sure to discuss each major requirement listed in the job posting. If you are deficient in any of these requirements, stress other solid selling points to help strengthen your overall presentation. Don't restrict your message to just core job duties, either. Also highlight personal characteristics that apply to the targeted position, such as your ability to work hard or handle responsibility.
