Description:
In this video, Harrison Barnes is evaluating a resume of a lawyer who appears to have graduated from law school in 1989 and passed the bar in 1990. He mentioned that it is expected for a lawyer to pass the bar right after graduation. So, in this case, it seemed that it took this lawyer a year to pass the bar. To improve the resume, he recommended the following:
- The best place to put education information for someone who has been out of law school for many years is at the end of their resume to avoid drawing attention to it.
- When you have been doing the same job for many years, keep your resume concise to show off the skills gained from that experience.

Okay. So this person graduated from nine in 1989, And then I became a member of the New Jersey bar in 1990.
Okay. I, so I don't know why that's necessary. If you graduated in 1989 theoretically you should have taken the bar, when you graduated, passed the bar right away in particular later, that means you did a clerkship or something, or you just didn't pass the bar. So there's no reason to draw attention to that.
The education for someone that's been out of law school that long should be should come later. You should put that at the end of your resume. And then
and then
1989. Okay. So this was the leader. So your first job was as a legal compliance associate. Okay. Then 1995 and then you've been working isn't it working? The state. Okay. That's great. And then this is a board membership, so I don't think this would go that would be other and then everything would go like that.
And then so resume, I would think, you want to move this to the end. You want to have a little bit if you've been doing the same job for the past, if you did been doing this job for 26 years I would probably put a little bit more just more of a description on here and and do what you can on there.
And then no and then just again, I saw that up. Okay. Okay. Just one second. Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
