Answer to Question 1

Answer: First, the rsum should be honest. Estimates vary, but one comprehensive study uncovered lies about work history in more than 40 percent of the rsums tested. More than 90 percent of companies that find lies on rsums refuse to hire the offending applicants, even if that means withdrawing formal job offers. Second, the rsum should be adapted to the needs of the audience. The importance of adapting your rsum to your target readers' needs and interests cannot be overstated. In a competitive job market, the more you look like a good fita quality hirethe better your chances of securing interviews. Address your readers' business concerns by showing how your capabilities meet the demands and expectations of the position and the organization as a whole. An essential step in adapting your rsum is using the same terminology as the employer uses to describe job responsibilities and professional accomplishments. If you are applying for business positions after military service or moving from one industry to another, you may need to translate your experience into the language of your target employers.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Like the education section, the work experience section should focus on your overall theme in a way that shows how your past can contribute to an employer's future. Use keywords to call attention to the skills you've developed on the job and to your ability to handle responsibility. Emphasize what you accomplished in each position, not just the generic responsibilities of the job.
