Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Using the first person in a rsum can sound repetitive and even self-serving, because you are providing a detailed account of your own accomplishments. Use strong action verbs in the past tense at the beginning of rsum phrases instead. Bulleted lists can be helpful as well.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Keywords are an important part of a rsum because many employers use computer searches to match applicants with keywords. Incorporating keywords into your introductory statement and elsewhere in your rsum can ensure that your keywords are counted in searches.
