Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: For print or electronic documents that you will be submitting to employers or job websites, the safest advice is to avoid photos. The reason is that seeing visual cues of the age, ethnicity, and gender of candidates early in the selection process exposes employers to complaints of discriminatory hiring practices. In fact, 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.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Even though most of your application activity will take place online, having a copy of a conventional printed rsum is important for bringing to job fairs, interviews, and other events. Many interviewers expect you to bring a printed rsum to the interview, even if you applied online. The rsum can serve as a note-taking form or discussion guide, and it is tangible evidence of your attention to professionalism and detail. When printing a rsum, choose a heavier, higher-quality paper designed specifically for rsums and other important documents. White or slightly off-white is the best color choice. Avoid papers with borders or backgrounds.
