Okay. Let's see here. Ali adopted no, I'll go snow area. Okay. You typically don't want to talk about yourself in the third person. Like he says, they called themselves a self-starter. I would probably take that off. These types of resumes that are again, you don't need all these skills.
And if this person's trying to get a job, I don't know if this person didn't get a job in the United States. But again, all this kind of stuff needs to come off. This 2019 is fine. You probably want to put the if this is the name of the firm, you'd want to put that on there. Yeah.
So other than that it looks pretty good. You want to make sure you run it through the proofreading stuff. I'm assuming that this person's trying to get a job in the U S if it's for Nigeria I can't really comment on the things that are good or bad about it. But stand up to statutes.
They put in a, studied the constitution statues statutes. So that's why it's always important to, to run things through the software. This person could have been like the top graduate of their law school and people still make these sort of mistakes and but other than that, for if it's the, person's trying to get a job in the U S I would just try to clean this stuff up.
They were an intern during law school, so that's fine. And do things like that. That's how I would handle that for foreign attorneys, if you have a us address that's always good. If you have visas, you always want to put those in your resume. And if you have the bar and you've sat for the bar, you want to put that on the resume too.
This kind of stuff, a lot of times, foreigners too you don't need that. This is very common. I like the I like the you don't need to put your sex or hobbies. That's kinda fun. Sometimes you feel like reading different types of reading that it can be helpful and then no one needs to say references available numbered past.
Everyone knows that you can provide resumes if you like.
