Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Rsums that don't match the requirements closely may never be seen by a human reader, so it is essential to use the words and phrases that a recruiter is most likely to search on. (Although most experts used to advise including a separate keyword summary as a standalone list, the trend nowadays is to incorporate your keywords into your introductory statement and other sections of your rsum.)

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) An essential step in adapting your rsum is using the same terminology as the employer uses to describe job responsibilities and professional accomplishments. With the rise of automated applicant tracking systems, matching your language to the employer's will help you get past the keyword filters these systems use to rank incoming rsums.
