Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job candidates will seek to provide employers with positive signals such as their qualifications, skills, and experience, but avoid providing negative signals like gaps in their employment history, negative work experiences, or conflicts with previous colleagues. Giving false information during the job search is unethical and can harm the candidate's reputation, so D is not an appropriate choice. B is not entirely accurate as candidates may choose not to disclose some private information such as their religious beliefs, but they are not necessarily seeking to provide as much information as possible.
