Review
|
Note that the applicant has made a point to highlight honors and
relevant activities in the education section. This can be particularly
important if the applicant has little experience practicing law.
In the attorneys resume template above the applicant has also included
a professional affiliations section that specifies information such as
bar
membership and contributor information for professional legal
publications. Including such information can provide the applicant with
a competitive edge over other applicants.
You may be surprized to learn that the
corporate
pilot resume is also based on the same resume template, but
with an interesting difference!
