This is another great resume. Here. This is not the person's real name. You can see here too. Let's see here. This person has a lot of employment stability. This is not formatted properly, probably because it was converted from a PDF. So that's why it looks like this. There's nothing really to worry about here.
This person started in 2013, then they graduated in 2013. So their experience really consists of this and their time at Baker Botts doing this. And If that's the real from the rap and this other stuff. So here's what I would do test. Let me just see here. I think this person's a real estate finance attorney and then this is their experience.
So this person is a, went to a good law school and great colleges and so forth. And I don't know that there's really. Much to do with this. I think most of this stuff on our court leader, frankly scares me outer court where I went to law school at university of Virginia and in my junior or my second year of law school, there was a class that all these third year attorneys or third year law students took.
And I don't know, it was something about how to do legal research and like 10 of them Plagiarized a paper or maybe more. And they all got kicked out of school, like rectally graduate honor court scare me. And I know what, I don't even think they plagiarized paper. I think they plagiarized footnotes or something.
So those types of courts always scare me quite a bit, but This is really the the the meat of this particular resume. This is a great resume. It's the formatting of this is by the way, it's not this attorney's fault. It's our fault. This person does this for here because they do real estate finance law.
I, you can see here they pretty much have all this. I would probably have a like a transaction sheet to go at the end. And then the stuff about being a member of the junior league, which looks like a good thing. I would probably put after experience I don't know that I would have all of these different jobs or the person's done before.
I think they all can go out. I would put the junior league stuff here. And and then and I would just say, other, some other activities.
Don't personally don't even think all this other experience is necessary. You can put experience, but all this other experiences necessary. Yeah. Something along. These lines is really all this person needs. And then and then they could certainly and then they should beef up their experience probably at Baker Botts and and then you can just put associate is obviously their senior associate and then you have a really strong resume.
The person it's definitely done a lot. And then maybe you could put, personal or something along those lines to discuss more stuff. And but a lot of the other stuff this person's done. Prior to law school, it really wasn't relevant. I think that the person's finance experiences. And I think that this person should probably beef up this resume a little bit, but this is a great resume.
It's very strong. It's just, you want to make sure that the best parts come out. It's just a, probably hasn't been edit in a while. So they're probably using the same resume that they had maybe in law school, because they've been out for so long. And and so I would just clean it up and maybe list a little bit about, more about their experience with Baker Botts.
