ANS.- A portfolio and a resume serve distinct purposes in showcasing an individual's qualifications. A resume is a
concise document summarizing one's education, work experience, skills, and achievements in a standardized format,
typically limited to one or two pages. It focuses on brevity and is tailored for quick perusal by employers.

On the other hand, a portfolio is a more comprehensive collection of a person's work samples, projects, and
achievements. It provides a deeper insight into skills and abilities by presenting tangible examples of the individual's
work. Portfolios are often used in creative fields like design or writing, where showcasing the actual work is crucial.
While resumes emphasize qualifications through text, portfolios use visual and tangible evidence to demonstrate a
candidate's capabilities, offering a more holistic view of their expertise.

IGNOU “MOTHER PUBLICATION” All PDF BUY ON WHATSAPP MSG- 8529719732

33

ANS.- A portfolio and a resume serve distinct purposes in presenting an individual's professional background. A
resume is a concise, structured document that outlines a person's work experience, education, skills, and achievements
in a standardized format. It is typically limited to one or two pages and provides a quick overview for employers.

On the other hand, a portfolio is a more comprehensive collection of a person's work samples, projects, and
accomplishments. It includes tangible evidence of skills and abilities, such as writing samples, design projects, or code
snippets. Unlike a resume, a portfolio offers a deeper insight into the quality and diversity of an individual's work. While

endeavors. It involves traits such as integrity, responsibility, accountability, and a commitment to excellence. A strong

also emphasizes honesty in communication, respecting colleagues, and maintaining confidentiality. Adhering to a high
85
standard of work ethics fosters a positive work environment, builds trust among team members, and contributes to
overall organizational success. It involves a sense of responsibility towards tasks, a proactive attitude, and the
F-
understanding that professional conduct extends beyond the job description. Cultivating good work ethics not only
PD

enhances individual performance but also promotes a culture of respect and productivity in the workplace.
ER

4. Importance of good customer service.


TH

ANS.- Good customer service is crucial for business success as it directly impacts customer satisfaction and loyalty. A
positive customer experience builds trust, encouraging repeat business and fostering long-term relationships. Satisfied
LO

customers are more likely to recommend a business to others, serving as valuable brand advocates. In contrast, poor
customer service can lead to negative reviews, customer churn, and damage to a company's reputation. In today's
competitive market, where alternatives are readily available, exceptional customer service sets a business apart. It not
AL

only addresses immediate needs but also creates a positive perception, influencing customers' perceptions of a brand.
Investing in quality customer service pays dividends by enhancing brand image, ensuring customer retention, and
ultimately driving sustained business growth.

5. Behavioral requirements for a discussion.


ANS.- In a productive discussion, participants should exhibit active listening, respecting diverse perspectives, and
fostering open communication. Engaging in constructive dialogue involves avoiding personal attacks, focusing on issues

adhering to established discussion norms and remaining open to compromise facilitates a positive and inclusive
atmosphere. Overall, behavioral requirements for a discussion encompass respect, active participation, and a
