Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Make your email easily categorized by including the reference number or job ad number for the position to which you are applying. Some potential employers will request your rsum in the body of the email, while others will prefer it as an attachment.

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Scannable rsums are designed to be read by a software program, so they require keyword summaries. Scannable rsums also should not have complicated formatting such as boldface type or underlining, as this may confuse the software program.
