Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Because the functional rsum can obscure your work history, many employment professionals are suspicious of it. Moreover, it lacks the evidence of job experience that supports your skills claims. If you don't believe the chronological format will work for you, consider the combination rsum instead.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) If you've had a number of short-term jobs of a similar type, such as independent contracting and temporary assignments, you can group them under a single heading. Also, if past job positions were eliminated as a result of layoffs or mergers, find a subtle way to convey that information.
