The following statements about resumes are true:
-
Keep the resume length to one page - This is generally true, especially for early career professionals. However, experienced professionals with extensive work history may have longer resumes (up to two pages).
-
Job experience should be listed in reverse chronological order - This is true. Employers prefer to see your most recent experience first.
-
Use action words when describing your experience - This is true. Using action verbs helps convey your accomplishments and responsibilities more effectively.
The following statements are generally not true:
-
Job objective should be listed at the end of the resume - Typically, a job objective (if included) is placed at the beginning of the resume, right after your contact information.
-
References should be listed first in the resume - This is not true. References are usually not listed directly on the resume; it's common to write "References available upon request" or provide them on a separate document.
So the correct choices are:
- Keep the resume length to one page
- Job experience should be listed in reverse chronological order
- Use action words when describing your experience
