Job search- Bar status on resume before taking exam

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Jun 01, 2016 3:33 am

If I plan to take the Bar in July, what should I put (if anything) on my resume? "Sitting for X Bar Exam on July 2016"?

Should I just mention this in my cover letter or email?

If you just graduated, I think it's a given and you probably have a better use for that resume line

I just stated it was pending in my cover letter, but I was already licensed in another jurisdiction. I didn't really start to get calls until after the results came out anyways. Doesn't hurt to go ahead and apply though.
