About The Resume: List Every Job? Forum

Is it important to list every job one has had since college? Will the bar examiners be interested in this?

No and no. Resumes almost never include every job you've had.

No and no. Resumes almost never include every job you've had.

What about the space on the application where it asks for your last four positions? Should one list even those jobs that only lasted a month? I'm in sales and I've moved from Seattle to LA and back recently, and some sales jobs are obviously horrid, so a month may be it sometimes.

Thanks, btw. I was about to alter my resume in a most ridiculous way.

Yeah, on the app you have to list whatever they want, be it last four or last ten years or from the time you were 18 etc.

That's what I've done so far with the apps.

Should I submit an addendum explaining somewhat spotty employment?
