Instructions:	Based on your resume schemas from A6, we have created a hybrid personal resume XML Schema (`resume.xsd`). For this final assignment, take your personal resume XML from A6 and transform it into an XML document that conforms to our new schema. You will need to use XSLT and XPath to accomplish this. The output will be a new XML resume file that validates against our schema. Keep in mind that some of your data may not be portable to the new XML format. This often happens in the real-world and is a useful lesson to learn. We have also created an XSLT file that generates an HTML file (`resume.xsl`). Once you have finished your transformation and have a new XML document, use our XSLT file to transform it into HTML. Now, create a CSS file for the HTML file using the principles from A3. Be creative as you like but keep in mind that this is something you could actually use on your website for potential employers. We have provided an extremely limited amount of formatting in the HTML output so that you will be forced to use CSS to its fullest to create an attractive-looking resume. We will be creating a slideshow again that will showcase all of your resumes. Submission Instructions: Please submit your resume XML, your XSLT file and your CSS file with the naming convention `a7_firstname_lastname`.
