Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) Here are some of the most common and most serious
The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position: all this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do They do not necessarily know the specific skills you
used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved- both of which are essential In short, they
won’t know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your position
The more concrete information you can include, the better As far as possible, provide measurements of what you accomplished If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how much did they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity
Trang 3Writing what you are trying to achieve in life-your objective – is a waste of space Do you really think that employers care what you want? No, use that space for a career summary A good one is brief- three to four sentences long A good one will make the person reviewing your application want to read further
Many resumes list ‘hard’ job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or ‘soft’, skills However, your ability to negotiate (dàn xếp) effectively, for example, can be just as important as your technical skills All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for which you are applying If you are applying for a job that is somewhat different than your current job, it is up to you to draw a connection for the resume reviewer, so that they will understand how your skills will fit in their organization
If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have achieved, a resume reader may take what you write literally, and be left with a low opinion of your ability: you need to say exactly how good you are
On the other hand, of course, never stretch the truth (thổi phòng sự thật) or lie

28: According to the passage, what information should candidates include in their resume?
A previous positions B specific skills for previous jobs
C the past achievements D future objective
29: Why did the author mention that applicants should write a good brief career summary?
A because it can provide their specific skills in their positions
B because the employers do not care for what you want to achieve
C To make the interviews more curious about you
D To make the employers interested in what they want
30: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A Candidates must study the job they are applying carefully before writing the CV
B The ability to negotiate effectively is as significant as technical skills
C The information interviewees present should be related to the job they are applying
