Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The best approach for an application letter depends on whether you are applying for an identified job opening or are prospectingtaking the initiative to write to companies even though they haven't announced a job opening that is right for you. In many ways, the difference between the two is like the difference between solicited and unsolicited proposals.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The following are common rsum problems: (1) too long or wordy; (2) too short or sketchy; (3) difficult to read; (4) poorly written; (5) displaying weak understanding of the business world, a particular industry, or company; (6) poor-quality printing or cheap paper; (7) spelling and grammar errors; (8) boastful tone; and (9) gimmicky design.
An effective rsum has a clean, professional appearance that conveys your message clearly and persuasively. A rsum is a persuasive document, and by perfecting it, you greatly increase your chances of landing an interview.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
