Adding a new job to your law school resume?

Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I recently got hired for another paralegal position (I had one in the past, but I switched over to doing remote freelance paralegal work on Upwork for the past few months to focus on the LSAT). Do you guys think I should add that to my resume? The start on the resume would show 11/2022 and I'm planning on submitting my application right after I get the November LSAT back. I already have a few positions in my work history, not a lot but not insignificant either.

Thanks!

    I think it’s a good idea, personally. Having finished applying last week it seemed like a number of schools wanted to know what I was doing currently. Adding this position would probably be a good way to establish that.

    Former admissions officer here. Your resume should be current to the date of application submission. Since your new job is relevant to your application to law school, you should include it. Good luck!
