While studying business/finance can provide valuable knowledge and skills, success can be achieved through various paths. Many successful individuals have achieved their goals without studying business/finance in school.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

While a visually appealing resume can catch the attention of the reader, it is the content and relevance of the information that ultimately determines whether it stands out. A well-crafted resume should focus on highlighting relevant skills, experiences, and achievements, rather than relying solely on design elements. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Explanation
    Dressing well can certainly leave a positive impression, but it is not the only way to stand out as an intern. Other factors such as work ethic, skills, and attitude also play a significant role in distinguishing oneself from others. Therefore, the statement that dressing well is the only way to stand out from other interns is false.
