Resume Update

Post by Depressed Gooner » Tue Aug 02, 2016 9:27 pm

I could be in the wrong thread, or this topic could have been covered already (if so just direct me there, please), but I want to update my resume before I enter 1L. I have the stereotypical cluttered resume and want some tips to update and declutter it! More importantly, what should I NOT keep in it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advanced! :D :D

Your career services office will discuss all that. They'll help you with it before you actually send it out anywhere. Don't spend a lot of time on it now just for them to change everything later.

Edit - grammar

The above poster is right, you don't need to worry too much about it now, but Harvard has some helpful samples online: http://hls.harvard.edu/dept/opia/job-se ... e-resumes/
