Description:
Many resumes that Harrison Barnes reviewed often emphasize things that are not necessary to include or highlight. Here are some of the items that need to be deemphasized:
- Dean’s List – If not a lister for all semester, then this information needs to go.
- Licensure/Bar – You may include this but placed it towards the end of the resume. No need to put a lot of details.
- Education – You can set your education information at the bottom so you can emphasize your work experience.

This resume, let's see.
Dean's list three semesters. No. So again, I don't like that. I think if you're ranked 17 out of 24, I would think that you have indeed as opposed to every semester. Just anything that draws attention to not being Dean's list all semesters is fine, best performance award for all these classes.
That's great. Summa cum laude. Wow. So this is great. Everything is good about and you don't need to underline hand maybe we did. I don't know. But and this, again, the licensure goes at the end. One of the things you'll notice, this is when you review attorneys resumes that that and this was, and again, this is not to be rude or mean or anything, but, if someone yeah goes to I don't know Harvard law school or in Michigan or something they almost never even they list their law school, but it's always at the end somewhere and it's never, or not their law school.
They're there the fact that they pass the bar and if or they're admitted to the bar, and if they didn't go to a top law school, it's always at the top. It's a big deal passing the bar, obviously, and people from Tufts law school certainly don't pass the bar all the time. And they may want to put it at the top too.
So their biggest achievement is passing the bar, you just it's assumed that if you're an attorney, you have the bar, so you don't want to really even talk about it. And if people see or an attorney in wherever this city is, then they know that you pass the virus. You don't really need to put it there.
You can put it there, but you don't need to go into a lot of detail.
