RESUME OVERVIEW

Structuring your resume properly with relevant information is crucial as the document is meant to display all of your top skills and qualities which help employers determine if you are a suitable candidate for an opportunity. Keep in mind that resumes are never final— it will ALWAYS be revised as you will need to regularly update it to reflect any newly acquired skills/experiences to make yourself a more competitive candidate.
