5. Double check your spelling, grammar, and overall formatting (no filler text, everything must be clean and well-formatted.)

6. Peer Review (Share your resume with two partners):

• Are all skills and qualifications listed in a way that is professional and advantageous?
• Anything that's missing or could be expanded?
