Description:
This resume that Harrison Barnes is looking at is of a young attorney. Though he thinks that it is a good resume, his advice is not much on the resume but more on the candidate's career. His strategy to make this an interesting resume is the following:
- Become an associate to any of the current firms you are in.
- Stay there for about 2 to 3 years to gain experience and show commitment.
- Once already an associate, remove the law clerk if it is just a temporary job.

Okay. Let's see. This next present may. This person is from 2019. They were a teaching assistant. A mayor went to selling and sales management. That's cool. I didn't even know there was such an major that's awesome. Okay. Walked clerk 2019 to present. Okay. Let's see here. Okay. Cause I don't know why this person's a law clerk. I'm assuming they haven't taken the bar or pass it yet, which is perfectly fine. Holiday therapy. Oh yeah. They just passed. Okay. I would hope that now that you're admitted that you would be that you would be they would call you an associate.
So if it was me I would stick around and until I'm called an associate. And then once you're an associate you can just put down that, you can just put down the dates you've worked there and just put your current and put something instead of the same. What your title is in different day.
Just say something like August 19 to present, and then you would say and there's all these tricks, by the way. If people, if you don't pass the bar, it's not a big deal or you don't take the bar, currently in associate Societe who assist, In the drafting filings, just kinda thing.
So I would wait to become an associate there. And then you don't have to put anything about your lock park and then you don't have to put anything about the bar or you can just, when you say you were to, and then that's completely a Packard. Okay. It looks like you're with two firms has a law clerk.
Okay. That's that's interesting. But I would remove that. I would this, I would take off the bar and I would, this is how I would handle that. I would I don't know, w I don't know if this really is to present, or if you're with two firms, as a law clerk, but you can do that if you want. And then remember to proofread this stuff but that's what I would do, and this is a good resume.
There's nothing Yeah, there was nothing, I like that your legal writing tutor. And so this is a good resume. There's nothing wrong with it. I But I would wait to become an associate. If this is a mistake in terms of the date, you just forgot to take out present. And there's a date.
It sounds to me like probably August and maybe not maybe a law clerk during, or you're a law clerk and then during school or something, then I would actually, no, it looks like your COVID-19 wasn't turning school. Yeah, so I would I think this is probably okay. And then and then you could put down and then maybe when you become an associate at this firm, I don't know.
I would try to handle it that way, and this is a good resume. I think you just need to work on it a little bit in terms of. Maybe explain why the bar wasn't there earlier, which isn't the end of the world. And then when you do become an associate here at one of these firms, I would definitely try to become an associate at one of these firms.
And then when you do, I would try to stay there for two or three years, and then maybe think about, removing a law clerk from one of the resumes or something, if it was just a. Temporary job. So that would be my strategy. My strategy would be coming to associate at one of these firms.
Probably this one where you've been at since March 2018. So you could put March in 2018 or whatever one of these firms or whatever one likes you, the best, try to become an associate and then stay there for a couple of years. And then after you've done that you're golden. That's what I would do.
So you have to think about what to do in the situation that you're in. Okay. Let's see this person counts on an Emer American Islamic relations. Wow. It's a lot of intake civil rights and legal services coordinator.
