Answer 1

Answer 29) Option c) Ten years. The applicants must show their work experience of the last ten years in case there are many years of experience. They should start with the most recent job and then proceed back. This is a good way of presenting the work experience because the interviewer will be most interested in the roles and responsibilities that you are undertaking in recent years.

Answer 30) Option e) B and C. In case of chronologic resume the work history is added such that the recent work position is mentioned at the top and after that, the prior experience is mentioned in reverse chronological order. Relevant details that are related to the job responsibilities of the position that you are applying for i.e. medical assisting should be mentioned. There is no need to mention all the duties at the prior jobs. Also, it is adviced that the duties must be mentioned with an active verb for a better statement and representation of the work history.

Answer 31) Option a) salary history and current requirements. This is because the information regarding education, employment history and applicant's contact information is required for the assessment of the applicant's skills and thereby contacting him or her in case of hiring. Although salary history and the current requirement are unnecessary details which are of no use to the hiring company.

Answer 32) Option a) Advice him or her that it is illegal to ask this question. This option is correct because the interviewers are not allowed such questions regarding the marital status of the applicants as it is illegal. They ask such questions to know whether the applicant will be willing to work late hours or they will be engaged in their personal duties. However, this is illegal to not provide the job to the applicant solely based on their marital status. It is better to politely remind them that it is not suitable to ask this question and then redirect them toward the duties of the jobs.
