Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re talking to ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones about job hunting practices that are typically not great ideas and aren’t going to help you secure a job.
In this episode we discuss:
- What is the perfect length for a resume?
- How to cut down your writing sample for the purposes of job searching
- Should you include an addendum with your application documents to explain a bad grade?
- Deciding which of your previous jobs to include on your resume
- Are thank-you notes a good or bad idea?
- Is it acceptable to reach out to potential employers via cold calls or emails?
