Okay, so this particular person let's look at the work that they've done. So they this is another foreign attorney. Who's an LLM and it looks like they took the bar exam all of these barred missions, by the way go with the you want to put them again at the end, everyone's putting these in the top, but you really want to put them at the end.
People put them at the top because they're very proud of them and it is a big thing to pass them. If you're taking more than one bar exam it just creates all sorts of problems. So the reason is this person's admitted in Florida. If they're taking the New York bar exam, people are going to wonder why did they take the Florida bar exam?
Do they want to work in Florida? What's going on there? And and it's sure enough now the person's working in it looks like they're working in what was I going to say and north right now? Let me one second here. Yeah. Sorry they're working in New York one, okay. So this particular resume if this person needs to decide what they want to do and and what I'd recommend here is this particular person. Let me just look, come on second.
Okay.
Okay. So yeah, this particular person needs to really try to focus their research on what exactly they want to do. So right here, I can't necessarily see other than the litigation there. And I guess it was litigation here. I, everything looks kind of litigation related. And so I would try to to the extent that they can focus everything on litigation related stuff.
And then a lot of this stuff too, there's just a lot of oppositions here. It looks like they started and the person got out of school in 2012 and got another degree in 2015 and then this degree. So it looks to me like there's a lot of various things here that aren't necessarily related to what this person wants to do.
Okay. Let's see. International council for commercial operation. I have to say this is part of the same resume. Okay. All right. What publications. Okay. Wow. So this is a good resume. This to me looks more like an Greece and also an international arbitration resume. Those positions are very difficult to get in the United States by the way.
I might be, if this was my resume, I might be a little bit concerned about that. And there's definitely far too long. It's good almost as an academic resume, but that, that would be what I would what I would most recommend it for. I see here. And then if you do want to do more stuff with it, then try to work on a a different try to take all of the this other related experience and maybe put it in a couple of lines somewhere else.
Okay. We ordered this resume, so it looks like we have
Real quick.
I don't see what the employer's name is here. This is an older resume. It looks like and and these are licenses again, belong at the end. And other than that know, I think as a first solo practitioner resume, I think this was probably okay. I don't really have any major problems with it.
I don't know that talking about your largest verdict, there is necessarily a great idea. I don't know that you need to go into too much detail about that. Let me just but other than that and then all these admissions, I don't think you need that as well. Okay.
