Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Developing a rsum is one of those projects that really benefits from multiple planning, writing, and completing sessions spread out over several days or weeks. You are trying to summarize a complex subject (yourself) and present a compelling story to strangers in a brief document.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) In most cases, your rsum needs to make a positive impression within a few seconds; only then will someone read it in detail. Moreover, it will likely be screened by a computer looking for keywords firstand if it doesn't contain the right keywords, a human being may never see it. Recruiters don't need that much information about you at the initial screening stage, and they probably won't read it.
