Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Always accompany your rsum with an application letter (printed, email, or online). Treat it with same care that you took with your rsum because it's a writing-skills evaluation in disguise. Even a single error can remove you from contention for a job.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Because you are trying to anticipate the potential employer's needs without the guidance of a job posting or position description, composing an unsolicited application letter may require more time and effort than solicited letters. Nevertheless, it's good practice to include an application letter with every rsum you send out.
