Employment Section on Application Forum

[capecod]

Some schools include an employment section on their applications. The instructions read "List all employment including internships." I've always heard that anything from high school should be left out of law school applications, but the instructions seem to indicate that these jobs should be included. Do they expect me to leave these jobs off the application, or do they really want to know about every job I've ever had? What if it's a job from high school that I only did for a day or a week?

I didn't put my high school jobs, based on the information I could gather on TLS. Some people do put high school jobs on the apps, though. I don't think it's a huge deal, but if you're stressin' just call the admissions offices of a few schools and see what they say.

I had similar questions on a two of my applications, I called and spoke to the adcom folks in both cases because I am an old geezer and this covers a lot of ground. Once school asked for my last few major jobs, the other asked for everything. The longer one ended up having over 30 entries, it was a real pain.

Would you mind saying which schools they were?
