Ravi saw the following Advertisement in the Newspaper.
Situation Vacant
A reputed company wants two Sales Executives. The candidate must be a Post Graduate in Management, below 28 years, and have minimum two years experience. Salary is not a constraint for the right candidate. Apply with your bio-data to the Personnel Manager, ABC, Company Worli, Mumbai.
- Times of India
Ravi wants to apply for the post of the Sales Executive. Pick out the most suitable option given below to fill in the blanks.
Ravi at the end of the letter will attach a _________ for the reference.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Bio-data
A bio-data is a document that gives a person's details: name, age, qualifications and work experience. The advertisement says "Apply with your bio-data", so Ravi attaches it to his letter.
Example: Candidates must send their bio-data along with the application.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Essay competition certificate — Incorrect. It has nothing to do with a post in sales and is not asked for.
Option 3: Birth certificate — Incorrect. The advertisement does not ask for it; the age is stated in the bio-data.
Option 4: MBA group photo — Incorrect. A group photo is not a document of qualifications and has no place in a job application.
