Gerald has just prepared his résumé and is ready to mail the printed traditional résumés to organizations. However, his friends insist that he should be ready with more formats because, depending on the companies he applies to, he might want to produce his résumé in as many as six formats including ________.

A) audio
B) graphic animation
C) brochure
D) PDF file

While audio and graphic animation résumés may be unique and innovative, they are rarely requested by employers and can actually be a hindrance to some. A brochure résumé may also not be necessary as it may not fit the traditional format that most employers are used to. A PDF file, on the other hand, is a common and widely accepted format that preserves the formatting and content of a traditional résumé, making it a safe option for any job application.
