Explanation:

1. A mission statement defines a company's purpose and philosophy. A business plan outlines goals and strategies. Administrative and organizational structures are about internal set - ups.
2. Learning about a potential employer before the interview helps in preparing and showing interest. Submitting an application is early, and during/after employment is too late.
3. Resumes are often formatted chronologically. Creative fonts may be unprofessional. Bullet - pointed lists are common. Certifications should be on the resume.
4. Applying for jobs that match skills and experience is practical. Applying for less - skilled jobs limits growth. Avoiding learning - required jobs is not good. Over - reaching (greater skills) may not be effective.
5. Construction jobs often require drug tests. Rescuer/first aid tests are not standard. Driving tests (unless specific) and lifting own weight (uncommon as a general requirement) are not typical.
6. Most employers now use the Internet to advertise jobs. Local newspapers are less common. Front desk and organizational charts are not primary advertising methods.
