According to the University of Arizona's guidance on tailoring your resume, what is the primary purpose of identifying 'key words' within a job description?

To mirror the language of the employer and demonstrate that your skills align with their specific requirements.

To increase the word count of your resume so it appears more comprehensive to recruiters.

To ensure your resume bypasses all human review and goes straight to the hiring manager.

To replace your actual job titles with the titles used in the advertisement.

When tailoring your resume for a specific position, which section is highlighted as a strategic area to immediately showcase your relevance to the employer?

The Professional Summary or 'Qualifications Summary'

The High School Education section

The Personal Hobbies and Interests list

When adjusting the 'Experience' section of your resume to fit a specific job description, which approach does the University of Arizona recommend?

Prioritise and quantify bullet points that directly relate to the specific tasks and skills mentioned in the job posting.

List every single responsibility you have ever held in chronological order without filtering.

Keep all bullet points exactly the same for every application to maintain consistency.

Remove all dates of employment to save space for more descriptive adjectives.

When analysing a job description to tailor your resume, what is the 'What, How, and Why' method used for?

To expand your bullet points into accomplishment statements that demonstrate the impact of your actions.

To determine how many pages your resume should be based on the company's size.

To evaluate if the company's social media presence matches your personal brand.

To decide whether the salary offered is worth applying for.

When tailoring your resume, why is it recommended to research the company's values and mission statement in addition to the job description?

To incorporate the company's culture and values into your resume's professional summary and experience descriptions.

To copy their mission statement exactly and list it as your own personal objective.

To find out the names of the hiring manager's family members for personal outreach.

To determine the minimum number of hours you can work while still being hired.

When tailoring your resume, what does the University of Arizona recommend you do if you have relevant experience that does not match your current or most recent job title?

Use a 'Related Experience' section to group relevant roles together, regardless of their chronological order in your full history.

Leave the experience off the resume and only mention it during the interview phase.

Change your legal job title on the resume to match the job you are applying for.

Only include the experience if it occurred within the last twelve months.

When tailoring your resume, what is the 'T-Chart' strategy used for according to the University of Arizona's career resources?

To compare the job requirements on one side with your matching skills and experiences on the other.

To calculate the total number of years of experience required for the role.

To track the different versions of your resume sent to various companies.

To design a more visual and graphic layout for your resume's header.

When tailoring a resume for a position in a different industry, how should a professional handle 'transferable skills'?

Describe those skills using the terminology and context of the target industry rather than the industry where they were gained.

Keep the technical jargon of the previous industry to show a high level of expertise.

Omit transferable skills and only list skills that were explicitly gained in the target industry.

List transferable skills in a separate 'Miscellaneous' section at the end of the document.

When tailoring your resume for a specific application, what is the 'Rule of Three' regarding the placement of information?

Employers typically spend only a few seconds scanning a resume, so the top third of the first page should contain your most relevant qualifications.

A resume should be exactly three pages long to ensure it provides enough detail for professional roles.

You should always list exactly three bullet points for every previous job role listed.

You must provide three different professional references for each skill you claim to possess.

When tailoring your resume, how does the University of Arizona suggest you handle 'technical skills' such as software or programming languages?

Prioritise the specific software or tools mentioned in the job description at the beginning of your skills list.

Only include software that you have a formal university certification in.

Alphabetise every skill you possess to ensure the list is organised and fair.

List all skills in a small font at the bottom of the second page to save space for text.
