Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A rsum is a short, customized overview of your professional life that relates to the qualifications of specific positions and how you are able to match your background to the qualifications that are desired. Provision of contact information is common to both the rsum and the CV. Rsums are more effective if details of particular positions that have been held are highlighted as compared with a detailed listing of positions held.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Steady state career styles (career-long commitment to a particular position) are more likely in rural settings, where commitment to the community is high and alternative career opportunities are limited.
