Construction/pizza job on resume
Rising 2l preparing for recruiting. On my resume I have 3 things listed under "legal experience", a clerkship at a law firm, a research assistant for an attorney, and an intern for a sports agency. The clerkship and research assistant positions I have done during this summer. Also this summer I worked nights at a pizza place and weekends for a construction company. Should I have these two jobs on my resume under a different section such as "work experience", or should I omit them totally. I thought it might help to show that I worked a ton of hours this summer and set me apart from other resumes. Any advice would be appreciated.

omit, it won't help and could turn some people off

I'm curious as to how it may turn people off. I don't have any experience in legal recruiting, so the insight would be helpful.gwuorbust wrote:omit, it won't help and could turn some people off

I doubt most people will care. But I have spent enough time around pretentious people to know how they think. And I could easily see a small minority of people tossing resumes which have what they think are low-level jobs. Not saying it should happen, but I'm sure it does. Hiring is largely arbitrary.sarahlawg wrote:I'm curious as to how it may turn people off.

I might mention it in a cover letter to show work ethic but I wouldn't clutter your resume with it.
