For this activity, submit a r$$sum$$ focused on your new career path and reflects your current program of study.

The most effective way to have your r$$sum$$ viewed by a hiring manager is to target and customize your document to a job posting or company profile.

It is important to strategize what to put in your r$$sum$$; you do not need to include every previous experience. Learn to market your skills by focusing on what the employer is asking for and not what you feel you want to tell them.
