The purpose of a resume is not to get you a job; it’s to get you an interview. The interview is what gets you the job.

Is your resume based on some template you found through Google, or is it designed to speak directly to the hiring needs of your target law firm and get you an interview?

Do you use the same resume and cover letter for every application, or do you research the employer and tailor them for each job posting to get the interview?

On Wednesday, May 12, 2021, beginning at noon MT join Eric Pye, Student Services Advisor for CPLED for a resume building webinar. During the webinar, you’ll learn to create an effective resume that tells a legal recruiter (or partner) what they want to know and helps them decide if they want to spend time in an interview learning more about you as a potential articling student. Topics include:

• Formatting a resume so it’s attractive and easy to read, and information is where the recruiter expects to find it.
• Providing education, competency, and experience information that will resonate with recruiters.
• Controlling length and giving just enough information to pique the recruiter’s interest.
