Podcast Episode 127: Avoid These Resume No-Gos

December 19, 2017 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Law School Toolbox podcast

Welcome to the Law School Toolbox Podcast! Today, we have guest Sadie Jones, an ex-BigLaw recruiter, here to talk about some resume no-gos: all those things that you should never do on your resume. Sadie has seen a lot of resumes, for different positions, from a variety of candidates, and at a diverse mix of law firms. She’s got lots of valuable insights on things to avoid in your resume, so before you apply for that job, tune in!

In this episode we discuss:

  • Basic organization and formatting – length and consistency matter!
  • Jobs that should be left off your employment history
  • Managing a break in employment
  • Associations and affiliations you should leave off
  • Being able to talk about anything and everything you include in your resume
  • Making your resume relevant to the position you are applying for
