Scoring: Give yourself one point for every correct response.
If you scored…
- 20 points, you are an expert on resumes strategy and should have job-search success.
- 18-19 points, you have a strong knowledge of resume strategy, but could use a little
fine-tuning of some points.
- 16-17 points, you need to spend some time brushing up on your resume strategy skills.
- Under 16 points, you need to set aside a fair amount of time to learn more about the
key uses and strategies of resumes; consider starting the process with one of our
Resume Tutorials.
