Resume Admissions

I have extensive work experience that I’d like to feature in my resume for my applications. However, I understand that the ideal resume format for a fellowship or job might differ from the one used for a law school application. What are the key differences, and what should be included for applications?

    • Similar to my CV, but longer. Mine is 1.5 pages and that's fine.

    • Focus on skills gained (think: what have I learned that is valuable for law school) over outcomes achieved when practical.

    • Inclusive of ALL substantial activity since high school (if practical) - I have all my university extracurriculars from a few years ago.

    Look at Harvard's website for three good resume templates for law school apps... they give a good basis to build off of.
