seeing a resume in size 8 font would b 180. i do f w the margins in mine tho so theres basically no top or bottom margin n the side margins r like .2"
One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page, BillPackets.

Would be so funny if our computers started addressing us by our TLS handles

K I'm looking for the Spivey post. I have had 4 big girl jobs and I want to talk about volunteer stuff too because apparently they care about that (a friend had lack of community service noted in a rejection letter).

Plz note that I didn't restrict 1pg resumes to KJD, but if u are KJD u prolly dnt wnt 2 go ovr that.
You could do 1 pg if u were old and had had few jerbs.
Or if u were old and played musical jerbs then 2 pgs is gud see Spivbros blog post

OMG I wonder if some dimwit is going to put the Ice Bucket Challenge on there. That would be so funny and sad at the same time.

I'm a two-pager. And then I remember that I'm actually closer to five years out and I die a little bit inside.

Team vote please. Should I spend my lunch hour doing Difficult LG, Difficult RC, or Flaw LR? just go home so I can study for the LSAT for the rest of the day. Advise.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

I believe that's correct advice, Colonel. Do you have wrinkles? Yes? You can have two pages.
