I’m looking for things that can help me get started in a Cre career
Hi everyone,  
       I’m currently looking for books/advice to help me get started. I am a 21 yrs old and I have minimal experience in Cre. I would really appreciate any advice . Also does anyone know anything I could do to beef up my resume for Cre?
