Tristan DeAugustine's Resume.pdf Adding your resume you sent me and my notes that I sent you in Slack.

• Your job titles are splitting on the line, it makes it hard to read and confusing
• Take out the "I did" type of stuff and just make it matter of fact... one example... "I helped set-up the restaurant" could be "Responsible for assisting in daily restaurant setup"
• You have a little summary for each that could almost just incorporate the bulleted info and give you a bit more space to add some projects
• Projects would be like you capstone, and some homework assignments that you found fun, challenging, or you were just really proud of.
