Would anyone be so kind as to look over my resume to the VA Tech College of engineering? I’m gonna list some general stuff here, but I would really appreciate it if you took an in depth look at what I have, I can PM you, don’t want plagiarism checker thinking I’m plagiarizing myself. I’m going into senior year now.
