Final 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.
