D) Your résumé will be carefully and thoroughly read.
E) The more information you present about yourself in the résumé, the better, so add as much detail as possible.


Answer: C
Explanation: C) In most cases, your résumé needs to make a positive impression within a few seconds; only then will someone read it in detail. Moreover, it will likely be screened by a computer looking for keywords first–and if it doesn't contain the right keywords, a human being may never see it. Recruiters don't need that much information about you at the initial screening stage, and they probably won't read it.
