Hi
I wonder, when I take off a year or two to study for LSAT, what should I write for the blank period in resume?
Would it (the blank period) give bad impression?
Thank you

TCR is get a job during your year off and stop trying to convince yourself that you'll work 40 hours/week practicing for the LSAT

You don't need a year or two (!) to study for the LSAT. Definitely get a job and study on weeknights and weekends.

Yes, OP, your idea is utterly insane.cotiger wrote:banjo wrote:You don't need a year or two (!) to study for the LSAT. Definitely get a job and study on weeknights and weekends.

If you're worried about work interfering, you still don't need 1-2 years. I quit my job and studied for 4 months and felt prepared. 1-2 years is a schedule for working full time imho. Granted, its very hard to study if you get called in on weekends or have to stay late, which is why I ended up leaving.

Can I ask what you wrote about the blank in your resume?notalobbyist wrote:If you're worried about work interfering, you still don't need 1-2 years.

OK...maybe 1-2 years is too long, but still I think I need to take some time off to focus on LSAT.
And wonder what to write about the period without making bad impression...any ideas?

I would make sure that my resume is accurate and honest. It's very risky to try to package a blank into something positive. As some of the others said, you don't need the entire day to study for the LSAT. In fact, I wouldn't recommend it. I would definitely at least get one or more interesting part-time job(s) that I would not be embarrassed to put on my resume.
