The last step

Improve your resume further
If you are finished, ask friends to check it. Correct spelling mistakes and other minor mistakes. Tools like Grammarly and ProWritingAid can help you to find grammar mistakes. The free versions are fine, just combine both tools.
Resume and CV writing are big topics, and this guide does not cover not all. If you need professional help, check the local Community College website. Most offer free services and have Career & Transfer Specialists and licensed Career Counselors. If you are in Austin and want an appointment, this is the link: www.austincc.edu/students/career-services/career-resources. Their website is massive, and if you struggle with your career, you find everything there.
Take this step seriously and try to ask many people because all will have different opinions. Focus on a clear structure and know the rules for each country. In the US, you need a specific format, your sentences should start with an action verb, and bullet points are the way to go.
Do not change fonts or colors and use everywhere the same structure (e.g., do not mix round and square bullet points). Use consistent punctuation.
--> pay attention to the details.
Remember, most likely, you have one change to get an interview and your resume is the crucial and many times it gives an employer a first impression about your work. Do not rush.
