What does it look like? The Bridge CV
One of our enrolling students was asked what he had in his resume up until this point in his life and he said:
"I don't think much... just a bunch of unfinished things!"
All young adults need and deserve to feel like they can represent themselves well - to know they have done important things and are ready for more. Employers and college admissions departments are looking for people with diverse skills, who have overcome challenges and demonstrated resilience, and who have something unique to bring to their organizations.

It will be full of a lot of highly attractive accomplishments that will open many doors!
