Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating what is true about a resume, we start by considering the purpose of a resume in a job search. 
Option A posits that a resume objectively tells an employer what was learned in school; while education is a component, a resume typically emphasizes skills, experiences, and accomplishments rather than listing only coursework or learned content. It thus presents a partial view that can mislead about hands-on capabilities. 
Option B states that you should keep your resume updated; this aligns with best practices, because current skills, recent roles, and new achievements improve your chances of being considered for opportunities and ensure you don’t misrepresent your profile. 
Option C claims that a resume is not necessary if you have completed an application; in reality, a resume complements applications by providing a fuller, often more tailored snapshot of qualifications, and may be required in formats or systems where an application alone is insufficient. 
Option D suggests that a resume is not necessary if you have a cover letter; while a cover letter can accompany an application, many employers still expect or benefit from a structured resume that outlines experience and credentials in a concise format, so this statement is misleading. 
In summary, the statement that best reflects effective practice is the idea of keeping the resume updated, since it supports accuracy, relevance, and readiness for opportunities across different hiring contexts.
