    Correct Answer

This type of resume lists the applicant's work experience in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent job.

    Explanation
    When listing each job on a resume, the most important information to include is the job accomplishments.

    • Seek their guidance and advice.

    Correct Answer
    A. Seek their guidance and advice.
    Explanation
    The primary purpose of networking contacts is to seek their guidance and advice. Networking is about building relationships and connecting with people who can offer insights, knowledge, and support in your professional journey. While asking for help in finding a job or requesting them to serve as a reference may be part of networking, the main objective is to seek guidance and advice from these contacts to gain valuable insights, expand your knowledge, and make informed decisions in your career. Leaving a resume with them is not the primary purpose of networking contacts.
