Question 1

Online r&#233;sum&#233;s require distinct keywords that may differ from those on a traditional one.

Accepted Answer

Online résumés are often scanned by computer algorithms which prioritize certain keywords. Therefore, using distinct and relevant keywords is vital for an online résumé to be noticed and rank higher on search results. Traditional résumés may also benefit from using relevant keywords, but they are not as crucial as they are for online résumés.

Question 2

Which of the following should not be on a r&#233;sum&#233;:&#10;A) salary demands.&#10;B) reasons for leaving your previous job.&#10;C) your marital status.&#10;D) None of the choices; they all belong on a r&#233;sum&#233;.&#10;E) All of these choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

Salary demands, reasons for leaving your previous job, and your marital status are all considered inappropriate for inclusion on a résumé. A résumé should focus on your skills, experience, and qualifications relevant to the job you are applying for.

Question 3

The French word &#34;dossier&#34; means:&#10;A) job application.&#10;B) cover letter.&#10;C) bundle of documents.

Therefore, it is an important social network for job searching.

Question 5

Students should begin planning for their career several before they graduate:&#10;A) years&#10;B) months&#10;C) weeks

Accepted Answer

It is important for students to begin planning for their career several years before they graduate in order to gain relevant experience through internships, build their network and develop the necessary skills to be competitive in the job market. Planning for a career cannot be done in a few months or weeks, it is a continuous process that takes time and effort.

Question 8

Social networking sites like Facebook should never be used for professional networking purposes.

Accepted Answer

While it is always important to maintain a professional image on social networking sites, many professionals have successfully used Facebook and other social media platforms for networking purposes. However, it is important to be mindful of privacy settings and what is posted on personal profiles. It may also be more appropriate to use LinkedIn for professional networking.

Question 9

Which question should you not ask in an interview?&#10;A) When is the starting date?&#10;B) What types of on-the-job training are offered?&#10;C) When will I get my first raise?&#10;D) How often will my work be evaluated, and by whom?&#10;E) Will I need to meet any safety or security requirements?

Asking about salary and benefits too early in the interview process can give the impression that you are only interested in the job for the money. It is best to wait until you are offered the position before discussing compensation.

Question 10

You should always ask to see your letters of recommendation.

Accepted Answer
