resume

the hard evidence of your progress. the ticket to new horizons.
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.

Check out the resume example below, follow the links on the right and imagine the look of your own resume after graduating The Bridge.
​It will be full of a lot of highly attractive accomplishments that will open many doors!
