  1. I really enjoyed reading your resume. I just have a few suggestions as a reader to better understand and read your resume. Instead of paragraphs maybe just make more concise bullet points that highlight your work experience. For example, under Technical skills, instead of a paragraph, just make a bullet list of your skills. Also, it would be nice to hear more about your education and more details about your chosen field in graduate school.

    1. Thanks Brian! I was trying something different with the long form, but bullet points would help break it down for an easier read. I posted this as a work in progress, so your comments are extremely helpful. Thank you. And I'm actually getting my Masters in Interactive Media Communications. Basically, developing content within the digital space and working throughout the digital space. It's quite interesting.
