This person graduated from law school.
Oh, Juris, doctorate. Okay. This, okay. Okay, so this person's been out enough for awhile. One, not that long. Let's see here. So they thank you, examiner solo attorney. So with a solo attorney what I would recommend doing many times is most of your work. I wouldn't go into a lot of detail.
I would take all this somehow and put all this information in the bottom, somehow down here. And just say other things that you've done. And then just say basically that you've been a you've had you've been doing this type of work for your you've been having your own.
You know your own firm during the search thing, it says here, your objective is to work in the financial industry, government and research. I think that's probably a good fit. If these are the things you want to do, then then you need to basically have a separate resume for the financial industry, the separate resume for government jobs and the second resume for research related jobs.
And and then and then in terms of your experience, you're talking about I would just say your, you have a solo practice and you do a variety of things, including, personal injury, unemployment, and maybe if you just incorporate work or whatever doing something along those lines and talking about that.

And that's how I would handle that. So this is a good resume but you need to it needs to be more focused. And then people, if you've been working for the past 13 years with your, in your own firm, people are gonna need to understand why the sudden change because you've, you, she graduated in 1972, that means you're in your sixties or seventies.
Why this sudden change. And you need to probably come up with some good explanations for that international large executive wealth planner.
