Resume Review

Your resume should at least contain

• Your contact information, work experiences, education, relevant certifications and job skills, and your geographic preference and work availability

• Your contact information, work experiences, education, plenty of professional references about your personal hobbies

• Your contact information, work experiences, education, relevant certifications and all social media profiles that you use on a regular basis

• Your contact information and your "dream job" requirements

If you have employment gaps in your resume, you should:

• Be prepared to explain them further in an interview

• Fill gaps in with job experience and skills even if you don't have them, to make yourself more marketable

• Talk about each gap with a lot of detail and explanation

• All of the above

When listing a reference on your resume, you should:

• Use a fancy font and eye-catching color

• Not list references on your resume - you should only mention that references are available to your potential employer if they should need them

• Use more personal than professional references, as they will probably know you better

• Use only family members as references

In your resume, you should avoid:

• Using nicknames for yourself

• Any discussion of time off or pay

• Unnecessary information about yourself (Zodiac sign, religious affiliation, information about personal hobbies unrelated to work, etc.)

• All of the above

Information about volunteer work you've done should be included on your resume because it speaks to your reliability.

• True

• False

When including information about previous job experience, you should:

• Start with your most recent or current employer

• Include any relevant military experience

• List specific job duties you have had in the past

• All of the above

Some people recommend that you should use your name as your email address (e.g., [e-mail]), but it's best to use a creative nickname, like [e-mail] to make yourself stand out more.

• True

• False

If you are still enrolled in school, but are looking for a job, on your resume you should highlight:

• Your favorite extracurricular activities

• How well your school is doing in sports this season

• Classes you are taking, especially those relevant to the job you are trying to get

• Your favorite teachers' names

Your resume will be most effective if it:

• is clean and professional, free of spelling and grammar errors

• Contains accurate and up-to-date information about you

• Helps the potential employer know enough about how you would be a good fit for the position you are applying for

• All of the above

Because of the large number of resumes that a hiring manager may have to review, you want your resume to:

• Stand out by using colorful and interesting fonts

• Have as much information as possible, including plenty of information about your personal life

• Be easy to read, and contain the information necessary for the hiring manager to make an informed decision about you

• Show that you would be a fun employee
