Updating resume out of college— I graduated in 2020 and started my first job in consulting. I haven’t gotten around to updating my resume since applying to this job in 2019. Does anyone have any tips on how to go about this/willing to share what you added/removed once you got your full time job?

I removed a lot of irrelevant class projects. Unless your actively adding to your projects it’s still considered college type work. Also i haven’t put it but I’ve started to see people put some purpose statements at the top of their resumes opposed to where post college resumes don’t have this. I.e. hydrogeolgist with 1 year experience remidation in gas spills. Or software consultant with 2 years experience with enterprise strategy experience etc.

Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.

So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?
