Answer to Question 1

Answer: Common mistakes related to the job search include the following: not catching mistakes in your rsum, misspelling the name of a manager you're writing to, and showing up late for an interview. Other common mistakes include tweeting something unprofessional, leaving embarrassing images or messages open to public view on your social media accounts, failing to complete application forms correctly, and asking for information that you can easily find yourself on a company's website.
Make sure you carefully proofread your rsum and have multiple people read it over. Double-check all of your business correspondence, and follow instructions carefully. Remember that your online presence reflects on your in-person presence and is available for potential employers to view.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) A functional rsum emphasizes a person's skills and abilities rather than his or her workplace background; hence, that format may be useful for someone with an inconsistent history of employment. However, employers may look upon this style with suspicion, and the chronological rsum is a much more common format.
