Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Planning an effective rsum starts with understanding its true functionas a brief, persuasive business message intended to stimulate an employer's interest in meeting you and learning more about you. In other words, the purpose of a rsum is not to get you a job but rather to get you an interview.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Networking is more essential than ever, because the vast majority of job openings are never advertised to the general public. To avoid the time and expense of sifting through thousands of applications and the risk of hiring complete strangers, most companies prefer to ask their employees for recommendations first. The more people who know you, the better chance you have of being recommended for one of these hidden job openings.
