It will require filling out an application. Do you have a resume?

Help me. Is it true?
Truth is not contained in sentences; they are contained in experience. Your acquaintance who wrote this sentence clearly has delusions of grandeur. Does he ever steal your lunch?

It's under your bed. Next to the duvet I gave you last year.

Where does anyone go? Do we go? Have we ever gone?

It depends on your own personal preference. If you want to go with book style, that's fine. However, the magazine/newspaper style of titles has a bit of flair, especially if they are longer. Just don't make it so I have to correct your mistakes.
