-How could Sarah strengthen the Work Experience section of her résumé?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using bulleted lists with action verbs will make Sarah's work experience stand out more and highlight her responsibilities and achievements in each position. It will also make it easier for potential employers to quickly scan her résumé and understand her work experience. Adding full addresses for employers (option B) is unnecessary and potentially risky in terms of privacy. Describing all job duties in detail (option C) can be time-consuming and may not add significant value if the duties were not relevant to the position Sarah is applying for. Omitting the dates of work experience (option D) is not recommended as it raises questions about the candidate's work history and may make it difficult for employers to assess their level of experience.
