Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Assume that every employer will conduct an online search on you, because most do. They want to know what your LinkedIn profile looks like and whether you've posted anything career-damaging on Twitter, YouTube, or other sites. If they don't like what they see or if what they see doesn't match what they read on your rsum, you won't be invited for an interview.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Your college career center probably offers a wide variety of services, including individual counseling, job fairs, on-campus interviews, and job listings. Counselors can advise on career planning and provide workshops on job search techniques, rsum preparation, job readiness training, interview techniques, self-marketing, and more.
