Prune Out the Old: Skill Assessment & Refresh Focus: Identify outdated skills or knowledge gaps. Action: Take an online course, attend a workshop, or read industry publications. For example, if you're in marketing, learn about new AI tools for content creation. Result: Stay relevant and competitive in a dynamic job market.

Pro Tip: When you're researching, don't just look at the national average. Location plays a HUGE role. The salary for a marketing manager in New York City is going to be different than for one in a smaller town.

A resume isn't just some boring list of stuff your teen has done. It's really a way for them to show off their unique skills, what they've experienced, and all the potential they have. Think of it as their personal "hype" document to make a killer first impression!
