Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Functional rsums are often used by individuals with weak or spotty employment histories, so employers may look upon this style with suspicion. The chronological rsum is a much more common format.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: A rsum is a persuasive document intended to get you an interview; it is not an application to be hired. Make sure you shape your rsum to make it as persuasive as possible.
