Resumes
Resumes are a marketing tool, and studies show that employers spend about 15 seconds looking at each one. A strong resume should be well organized, visually appealing, and have content that is tailored to the prospective employer. Please read through the "Resume Anatomy" link to learn more about the basics of writing a legal resume. Remember, each individual has different experiences and skill sets to highlight, and the sample "Ima" resumes are just that - samples to give you further guidance and a visual reference point. You should consult with a career counselor for specific deviations or questions. To schedule an appointment with a counselor, contact the OCPD Front Desk at 202-274-4090, or stop by Suite 122.
