Some tips on resumes:
- Think of a resume as a pedigree – do something amazing/outside of the box WHILE getting the best grades you can
- Get experience – everyone is in class – get out in the legal workforce in an internship
- Proofread Anything you send three times and then spell check it – if they see a mistake, they see a headache
- Make the Resume relevant to the position – i.e. make several different resumes – put what they want to see first: Maybe big firm = pedigree, while small firm = experience
