📝Resume Revamp: Crafting Your Law Student Story
Super Admin
👑Your resume is more than just a list of your experiences; it's your professional narrative, a snapshot of your skills, and often the first impression you make on potential employers. As law students, we're constantly adding new experiences – from legal research and writing to client interactions and court observations. It's crucial to keep your resume sharp, targeted, and impactful.
Tailor Everything: Customize your resume for every application. Use keywords from the job description to show you're a perfect fit.
Action Verbs & Quantify: Start bullet points with strong action verbs (e.g., Analyzed, Drafted, Researched). Whenever possible, add numbers to show impact (e.g., "Assisted 20+ clients," "Drafted 15-page memo").
Key Sections: Include Education (Law School & Undergrad), Experience (legal & non-legal), Skills (Lexis, Westlaw, languages), and Activities/Leadership.
Proofread Relentlessly: Typos hurt your credibility. Get multiple eyes on it.
Remember, every experience, big or small, contributes to the unique story you're telling. Let's work together to make sure our resumes shine!
