Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Some employers won't even look at rsums that include photos, and some applicant tracking systems automatically discard rsums with any extra files. However, photographs are acceptable and expected for social media rsums and other online formats where you are not actively submitting a rsum to an employer.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) The ideal length of your rsum depends on the depth of your experience and the level of the positions for which you are applying. As a general guideline, if you have fewer than five years of professional experience, keep your conventional rsum to one page.
