Okay. Here's a new one. Let's see. United States commodity futures trading commission.
Okay. So this is a pretty good resume. I the color and the stuff. Again, that's not something I like. But this is actually a very, fairly serious job. This person has. They're doing all this stuff, I don't know that all of this
It's necessary. And I know it's hard to take that off when you have all this type of work. Yeah. So this is this is all very good. You may want to put a little bit more of the stuff on here that you did. Would probably try to summarize everything here. Maybe in one bullet this is one bullet here, and then this is maybe one That's getting prosecuted and then the sort of thing.
And then I would put right here and then investigation of the year 20, 20 and the, and this sort of thing. Yeah, and these sorts of things could go at the end. And yes, I would just put one It just yeah, try to shorten all this up. This is a good resume, by the way.
I think people that go to the us attorney's office learned to write very clearly and succinctly. So I liked this resume. The only I don't think you need for generally for clerkships. If you clerk for a federal judge or something you don't really need to put. That sort of information in there.
I don't think you, you don't about what you did as a clerk. Everyone knows what's a liar, what they do. And then and then here you go, this is all you have. So you this resume can be shortened. And it's a good resume. There's nothing wrong with it. It says everything here.
And then you can never say that start room care. And then the person's name and then this other stuff at the bottom, which is their awards and other stuff. That, that could be helpful to put there. I dunno what this challenge coin is, but if it doesn't make sense I don't know if turn to the year was, but the sort of thing.
So this is a good resume. Can be shortened. And and then again, you always want to look for a focus. It was me and I was trying to get a white collar job you'd want, if you were doing a commodity exchange act stuff, you would want to make sure that your resume was focused towards those types of jobs.
And then if it was. And then if it's white collar related work, which you did for three years I would try to see if there's something consistent that runs through there. It is difficult. A lot of times for attorneys that don't have a lot of experience in law firms to move from law from the federal government to.
