The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.

b. Apply for jobs that you are not qualified for

Explanation:

A person should never apply for jobs that they are not qualified for while searching the Internet for a job.

An internet job search is generally employed in this age unlike in the past where job seekers submit their cv to an organization of interest. An internet job search is fast as after submission, the job seekers would have to wait for the interview call saving time, energy and resources.

An internet job search, can be done on different types of Job sites, e.g. Indeed, LinkedIn, e.t.c. You could look for a particular job title on the internet. Be confident to apply for only the ones qualified you for. On no occasion, should a person twist his cv so as to apply for a particular job position. If such is exposed by the company in the short or long run, it could lead to being sacked and could pose a negative tag in the future search for jobs affecting the person career in return.

But it is acceptable to make use of the unique features presence on job sites to enhance ones opportunities, customize a cover letter and resume to make it attractive and interesting without the need to lie.
