Better Food = Better Resume = Better Job

A resume is like a bowl of ramen noodles. Based on the look and smell we determine how the food will taste before the first bite. Employers look at resumes the way we look at food.

Getting all of that in one bowl can be hard, so here are some crucial Do's and Don'ts of writing a flavorful resume that can set you above the rest.

Why Internships?

Having internships on your resume sets you a level above the rest. They allow you to build your social network, gain in-field experience, grow and test your knowledge, and learn soft skills that speak volumes to future employers.

Accomplishments can be professional, educational, or personal landmarks. Showing how you made a difference, rather than just what you did can allow you to reap the benefits big time.
