My resume

I finally finish my resume!!!!!! Writing a resume drives me crazy. It's an excruciating process of self-criticism and self-deconstruction. My friend Jane even help me proofread it three times. I wonder if she will throw up when she see my email asking her to proofread my resume again today.
