That's looking a lot better.

Try to get it all to fit on one page. And don't forget to update the summary with the one I wrote above (if you desire to).

Great job on updating this. DRW has given some excellent advice.

I go through hundreds of resumes a year. Does the Word version look exactly like the one above? If so, there are some things that appear out of order.
