Resume Worthy Roundup
This is a little experiment to help out our readers – a monthly roundup of companies in the news that we think may be resume-worthy. This could be because of a cool thing they do, an infusion of venture capital, a good report, or because they simply said they’re hiring.
Note that there are many amazing companies out there, and this roundup is not considered an endorsement per se. This is just what came across this month that you may want to pay attention to for potential employment
So who is Resume-Worthy this June?
