Explanation:

1. How should an electronic résumé differ from a printed résumé?

Electronic résumés are often formatted for digital readability (e.g., plain text, ATS - friendly), use keywords for applicant tracking systems, and may be shorter or more concise. Printed résumés focus on visual appeal (e.g., fonts, spacing) and can have more design elements.

Common personal info to exclude: age (to avoid age discrimination), marital status (irrelevant to job performance), social security number (unless required for official hiring - related tax/legal processes at later stages, not initial app), or religious affiliation (to avoid bias). Assuming text - related common exclusions.

Taking an application home allows for: time to research the company and tailor responses, access to personal documents (e.g., references, work history details) not available on - site, and a calm environment to avoid on - the - spot mistakes or rushed answers.

Answer:

• Format: Electronic résumés may use plain text/ATS - compatible formats; printed résumés use formatted, visually appealing layouts (e.g., with fonts, margins).
• Keywords: Electronic résumés include keywords for ATS; printed résumés don't need this.
• Length/Detail: Electronic résumés can be more concise; printed résumés may have more elaborate formatting - related details.
