Answer

Question:
To be considered by the top firms, your resume must look professional.
Answer:

To be considered by the top firms, you must have a professional-looking resume.

OR

You must have a professional-looking resume to be considered by the top firms.

NOTE: "Your resume must look professional to be considered by the top firms" still contains a dangling modifier. Placed at the end of the sentence, the phrase "to be considered by the top firms" still illogically modifies "resume."
