David recommended I change several things on this resume in regard to formatting. He recognized that  there was too much white space in the previous format and that there was two different formats taking place from the top to the bottom of the resume. We then discussed one of his big rules: Who are you? The previous resume did not mention much of any activities outside of education which would not make an individual stand out very much. We addressed this by adding some outside volunteering. Additionally, the experience on the resume was not placed very well, there was too much information about the library that was not completely needed (Children's Page Heading and Section) and the experience of the Emmis Internship needed to be re-placed within the experience section and given bullet points.  Here's a start and there will be at least one more revised resume posted!
