Description:
In this video, Harrison Barnes explains that this is one of those professionally done resumes. Notice that the formatting and composition are well-written. The design is also the same as most resumes that he had reviewed. He identifies this resume as a senior that has been working in-house. He only has a few notes to improve this, which are the following:
- Graduation dates are acceptable to have them with or not. As this is an established senior’s resume, putting in the graduation date will not appeal to employers.
- When you go to a law school in Wisconsin, you are automatically licensed to practice law in that state without taking a bar exam; however, Barnes did not oppose including that on the resume.
- You do not need to include your skills in using Zoom or Dropbox.
- The top part summary and core competencies are the usual formats we see in many resumes; he suggests eliminating that information as it is not necessary.
- This resume appears to be suitable for Human Resource jobs or in-house jobs but not for Law Firm jobs.

So this particular resume is
Of a of a senior
That's been in house. So this looks also so there's good things about it and there's just things that aren't good. So a lot of times, so what older attorneys always do is they take off their graduation date, which is fine. You can do that or not. And and honestly, like if you put down your graduate from law school in 1969 or something, then that probably would hurt you.
I'm not saying that I wouldn't hurt me, but if a lot of employers would be turned off by it, but I think this has confined this person is obviously licensed to practice law in Wisconsin. For those of you that don't know if you go to law school in Wisconsin, you're automatically admitted in Wisconsin.
So that's fine. There's no reason to put down that you know, how to use zoom or Dropbox but again, for older people like us, that's probably a a an achievement, but you don't need to put it down. And conversational Spanish is probably not even really that necessary, but I guess you could put that if you want.
Okay. This resume I is something that has been done professionally probably by an outside service. It may have been done by they, this, it looks my guess is that this person was sent to the Gunderson tri hospital and clinics. They sent them there to a professional resume company or something.
I don't know the, these sort of statements core competencies and things. These are made a lot of times because people assume that there's going to be a a search engine, someone that's going to be searching for these terms using automated software and so forth.
And and to some extent that's true. But at the same time this it's only for the largest companies and so forth. So all these things that the person is saying here are, this is really an in-house resume. It's not a a law firm resume. And again, I do law firm placements.
This all these things here I, if from my standpoint, I wouldn't put all this here. These a lot of work goes into this and I, I'm not angry about it, or I'm not saying it's bad, but that honestly this person's, this is an HR resume. This is great. I don't know.
I don't know that, going talking about how you found someone stealing this, that's probably pretty scary to let Hillary now. And yeah, this was good. This was a good HR resume. I don't know. This is a real. A legal resume and a lot of respect, but it's a very good resume for for an HR person.
And it actually may be a good resume for in-house too. It just, there's some issues with it for 2014 is 17 professional counsel. Yeah. So this person's been in house a lot, so I like this resume. I don't have any issues with it. Hi. But it's more of an I think that in terms of this resume, it's a very good HR resume.
And it could actually be a good resume for a law firm job for an in-house job as well. I don't think it would be a good resume for a a job in that a lot from that
