Harrison Barnes mentions in this video that résumés tell a story. This attorney’s resume, which he is evaluating, appears to have no focus or consistency. He didn’t like that it does not show any relevance. It communicates that the candidate will probably not do the job long-term, nor can he be managed. For this kind of experience, he suggests cleaning up the resume with the following:
Education information should be put at the beginning of the resume.
Experience (with no long description)
Details on the experience can be included in the cover letter.

Yeah. Okay. Now let's do one more and we'll take a quick break and come back and do a bunch more resumes. The big four accounting firm, New York, senior associate and tax services. Okay. Okay. Paralegal, text department. Okay. That's good. Okay. Yeah. So this, you can see here, this is actually a very interesting resume.
So this person it looks like they've had the same job since period of time now they obviously need to Proofread this Mark May have it proofread a little bit more carefully, but they this is actually a good, very good resume. I think what I like about it is it's short.
I I don't know for mask.
Alright. This what I like about this resume is that it, it is very short. This was and I liked that person got an LLM and I liked that there's employment stability. So I think that is also very good. And then and I liked the the resist year, the key accomplishments.
I don't know that I would put that again. Keep people keep saying key accomplishments. I would just say that anytime you're like being a tax attorney or a corporate attorney, you're often better off instead of listing all this stuff, having a transaction sheet. So if you look up a transaction sheet on BCG attorney search what it's going to say is it's going to basically tell you about all the different types of work and so forth that the immune, all the different transactions you've done.
So if this person has done a bunch of different types of transactions, the best attorneys will typically list they'll have a, like a separate sheet on their resume. Sometimes it's 10 or 15 pages, but it lists all the types of transactions they've done and it's somewhat anonymous. You can fix things that way, but that's how.
You want to list a lot of stuff, but this is this is a good attorney. There's a lot of employment, stability. The resume short, the only thing I don't like here is I don't you can put all the bars it would be much easier to just say, here admitted to state bar, Florida New York.
And then you had sips in New York state bars or Florida in New York and Massachusetts.
