Your resume should:
1) Show evidence you are qualified for whatever the goal is – What have you done that shows you are a good fit for a position (internship, job, graduate program, scholarship, etc.)?
2) Help you secure an interview – How can you articulate what you have done to show you are a strong candidate?
