Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Some applicants create PowerPoint or Prezi presentations, videos, or infographics to supplement a conventional rsum. Two key advantages of a presentation supplement are flexibility and multimedia capabilities. For instance, you can present a menu of choices on the opening screen and allow viewers to click through to sections of interest.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) A well-designed infographic could be an intriguing element of the job-search package for candidates in certain situations and professions because it can definitely stand out from traditional rsums and can show a high level of skill in visual communication. However, infographics are likely to be incompatible with most applicant tracking systems and with the screening habits of most recruiters, so while you might stand out with an infographic, you might also get tossed out if you try to use an infographic in place of a conventional rsum.
