She hopes to find a job with a medium-sized or large firm somewhere in British Columbia, preferably in or near Vancouver, where she has lived since she was born.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To meet all three of her needs, Sarah will likely have to save three different versions of her résumé: one that is optimized for printed form, one that is easy to transfer to an electronic résumé database, and one that is suitable for emailing and posting online. Each version may require slightly different formatting or file type, such as a PDF for printing or a Word document for electronic submission. By saving three versions, Sarah can easily customize her approach to each potential employer or recruiter.
