So let's see here.
Okay. Yeah, like on a study abroad. Okay. I don't the study abroad stuff are you're certainly welcome to put it on there. But typically study abroad, just, it's not something that always gets law firms excited. It's just shows, you had the money to travel internationally and go learn somewhere else.
And it doesn't, it's not necessarily that great, the public service award is probably good. I think that Magna cum laude would go first up. That's really the most important thing. And then some of these clients th this other stuff, like the legislative and policy analysts clinics, these are okay.
They're not great. But this is fine. G okay. I like all this. And again these are this public interest this volunteer stuff. And again, I think there's volunteering. Stuff's great. I'm not putting it down at all and I'm not even, I certainly spend time on my free time Volunteering.
And there's actually a great cycle volunteer match where you go find things to do with them that you want to work in a hospice or, help kids and things. And these are all good, but you don't want to detract too much from the message of that you're good at working for a law firm.
So this person worked in medical malpractice firm. And this is a great resume. And you got an offer if you want to work in a in a medical malpractice from your next summer or when you graduate, then you can, if you don't, I would just take off the fourth medical malpractice group with your performance and law school, with your having gone to Berkeley and everything and and everything else that's going on here you, you should have no problem getting a good job.
One of the things I like about this resume is that everything is very short. So you can see here that this person has done just one line a small one line descriptions of what they did in the summers and so forth. And and then their jobs, they don't go into a lot of detail about it.
And that's good. The job of an attorney is to be very direct and to communicate thing, communicate things in a way that doesn't confuse people and makes it very easy for people to understand what's going on. And so that is great. So this is a good resume. This person will get jobs compared to this resume, by the way, which is, it's just difficult to understand, cause it's like Mexico and all these different things.
And and then this resume, you can see here where you have all these lines of things describing the experience and, ironically, I'm not trying to be rude here. This person did okay in school but this person again is Magna cum laude and so forth.
And the way that they're gonna it from the best students and the best lawyers are able to communicate succinctly and directly, especially with the resumes. And you can see here also, my my nothing's lighting up nothing in terms of my my grammar, nothing's lighten up on this resume.
So this is a good resume. There's nothing really that this needs I've, this is actually, I like this person energy due to her, a lot of times people will get will be there's nothing on here that shows you anything about this person's politics, their anything you just this is who they are.
And and this makes it look like this person could show up at your firm and and do the job and do the job well and be managed and and all that sort of, so that's good. Okay. Let's to Bowie state university, minor criminal justice is not only a resume. I apologize. Okay.
