Catie’s resume vs. my resume

1. The similarities between Catie Leblanc’s resume and my resume is that we both included our educational background, achievements and honors, and memberships.
2. The obvious difference in our resumes is the length and amount of content she has in her resume compared to mine. I do not have any clinical experience and also did not include my volunteer work or computer skills.
3. To strengthen my resume, I will need to start doing some shadow hours and volunteer work this summer to add to my resume. Also, I should think about adding computer skills to my resume.
