One of the aspects that makes this  ILT Masters program stand out in my mind is the emphasis that is put on practicality. From the very beginning we worked on ways of making our work adhere to high standards while also paying attention to making that work visible to potential employers.  The resume you see below is one that is interactive, allowing viewers to click on the links embedded within the docum   ent for more information.  Below the interactive resume is the printable version.
