Distinguishing Between the General and the Specific

Decide which of the following statements from the reading are general and which are specific. Write G for general and S for specific.

1		Employers, recruiters, or directors of human resources … will take any excuse they can find to throw yours out: misspellings, bad punctuation, poor organization—even an ugly font can turn them off.
2		Place your most important achievements and accomplishments in the top three inches of the page.
3		Use a common 10 or 12 point font, and take advantage of formatting tools such as bullets, italics, boldface, and capitals to highlight your accomplishments.
4		Include professional and academic accomplishments, such as publications, patents, presentations, honors, and relevant activities or volunteer experiences.
5		Don't provide personal information.
6		If an employer wants to know about your summer job at the ice cream parlor, he or she can ask you in an interview.
7		Let your experience speak for itself.
8		Objective lines such as "seeking job placement in a challenging environment where I can apply my professional skills" are vague and useless.
