Some employers are wary of hiring an employee who has a lot on their resume because they feel that the person may have too much experience and will be difficult to manage. In this video, Harrison Barnes advises to have consistency on your attorney resume and find a way to make a lot less information on it. A few methods are:
- Eliminate the volunteer work.
- Place only the work experience that shows consistency.
- Decide what practice area you want to focus on.

Okay. This was good. I liked this. I like this experience new graduate year that's teen. Okay. Oh, I see. So you were a program coordinator while you were in law school. That's why you did the evening division. So I maybe want to leave that in there since you were working.
Yeah, so I like this resume. I don't really have any issues with that. I think that a lot of this stuff needs to be cleaned up. So I think you have a lot of experience here for someone that's been out of school for since 2018. Lock clerks. I would try to I think these are okay, but again, you want to make sure that whatever you're doing has consistency.
The consistency means that you want to you don't want to have things that are too inconsistent in terms of the the number of the jobs and stuff are those really are those all relating to, what you're trying to do. So sometimes I, there's just so many jobs on here that it's gonna get confusing to people.
So I would try to somehow consolidate all this and and then see what you can do with that. And then the volunteer work. I don't, I think that's interesting too, but I don't know if we need it. And a lot of this stuff, just to the extent you can clean this up and just really figure out a way to make a lot less information on there, the better it's just, there's just too much going on and people want to see a lot more consistency.
So I would love it if this showed me like a practice area where I could really, push you into, if I was trying to recruit you or, would I, would it be, government contracts? Would it be, what would it be? And then once you decide on that, what practice area that is, then you can push people towards them.
And then these languages are good and that's fine.
