Answer to Question 1

Answer: When preparing a rsum, the best way to address gaps in work history is to mention relevant experience and education you gained during employment gaps, such as volunteer or community work. By including volunteer and community work, you indicate that you were using your time in a productive manner, even if you were not employed. Showing that you are involved in your community may appeal to a variety of potential employers.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) There can be harsh repercussions for lying on a rsum, and nearly all employers do some form of background checking, so it is not in your best interest to include false information on your rsum.
