Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: During the application process, don't expect or ask employers to retrieve a rsum from a website. Submit your rsum using whatever method and medium each employer prefers. If employers then want to know more about you, they will likely do a web search on you and find your site, or you can refer them to your site in your rsum or application materials.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Some employers won't even look at rsums that include photos, and some applicant tracking systems automatically discard rsums with any kind of extra files. However, photographs are acceptable and expected for social media rsums and other online formats where you are not actively submitting a rsum to an employer.
