Creating a polished and professional résumé is a process, so be prepared to invest the time necessary to properly edit and revise. Your instructor will provide feedback, which you should use to make improvements. You may go through several rounds before your résumé is ready to be viewed by an employer. Be patient and thorough to achieve the best version possible!

A résumé is a “living document” and will change over time. Make sure that your document always makes the right first impression: it is accurate, up-to-date, and “show-ready”. Your résumé should always reflect the most professional version of you!
