Big Law - Info on Resume
On my resume I have a spot for "Additional Information" where I list volunteer work I have done. Should I leave this off when applying to a big firm known for having heavy hours?

Re: Big Law - Info on Resume
Big firms won't see that you have no volunteer activities/interests and think "oh, he'll be a great fit as he must have a ton of free time to bill more hours."
All my friends with biglaw at top firms had a section with additional information of their resumes. If you have so muh work experience that it won't fit than maybe leave it off. Otherwise it's a good talking point for your interviewers.
