Legal Resume Help
You found what you think is the proper resume template. You followed what you thought were the rules of resume creation. You described your educational and work history in the proper bullet point format. But, you are not getting calls for an interview. Sure, it could be the economy. And, it could be that your background did not fit some of the jobs or most of the jobs or all of the jobs This could be true. Or it could be that your sole way of entry - your one page marketing document - is not quite right.
You may need expert help. We can help.
How?
Your resume is your primary marketing document. Most people are neither expert in personal marketing nor particularly intuitive about how to ideally market themselves. Why? Lack of experience. How many resumes have you created? 1-3? How many resumes have you reviewed? Yours plus a few others? How many resumes have you reviewed where you had hiring power? 0?
We have deep experience in each area.
What are some mistakes that you are making?
You are likely listing/describing your educational and work experiences but not much more. You are likely not tailoring your background to match the law firm or practice specific words needed to make it past the guard of resume scanners. You are also likely not describing what your experiences in a marketing savvy manner. This has nothing to do with trying to puff up your job in an inaccurate way - experienced lawyers can see right through such nonsense. But, instead, you need to write your job descriptions in a way that illustrates to the hiring attorney that you know what they seek.
We know how to correct these mistakes.
Don't let a simple thing like creating a resume derail you from getting a job. Make sure you get it done right.
