Answer 1

True statements:
- keep the resume length to one page — generally recommended (especially for early-career candidates).
- job experience should be listed in reverse chronological order — most common and preferred format.
- use action words when describing your experience — makes achievements more powerful and clear.

False statements:
- job objective should be listed at the end of the resume — if used, an objective/summary belongs at the top; many modern resumes omit it.
- references should be listed first in the resume — references are not listed first (if included, they go at the end or are provided on request).
