Barista
-served coffee (getting ready for my first year SA job)
-flirted with campus beauties (because I need to hone my flirting skills to confuse opposing counsel)
-ogled milfs (I better get ready for the older ladies so I can double-dip with clients)
-pilfered the register (thereby learning valuable foraging skills; you eat what you kill)
-mopped floors, chose music, etc.
and turn it into a paragraph. Yes it requires using other words, but overall it saves a bunch of space. I really don't feel like doing an example, but basically those 6 lines could easily be turned into 3 w/ full sentence paragraph style.

Re: 2 page resume?
YOU introduced the word filler as synonymous with work experience. I'm only passionate about figuring out why people seem to be so assured of something that multiple adcomms contradict (with no reason to lie).URMdan wrote:kwais wrote:May I ask what your GPA/LSAT is?

What kind of response is this? I hope you weren't relying on your wit to get you anywhere at all
I'm sorry if I arrived at the wrong conclusion, you just seem very passionate about filler. So passionate that I couldn't help but assume that the majority of your WE is filler (hence Guitar Center, rock on).
But seriously, can I ask what your GPA/LSAT is?
and since you are not sure whether or not to take me seriously, 3.7, 170. Does my opinion matter now or must I retake in order to give my 2 cents?

Just make sure it's no more than two (or maybe three) lines per job.

Just make sure you convey the fact that most non-legal employers will not.CGI Fridays wrote:I do. They will.r6_philly wrote:I don't know about adcoms, but I refuse to read paragraph style resumes.
Add: if you do, more power to you! I can assure you whenever I pick through 200+ resumes I will shuffle the paragraph ones and ugly ones to the end.

GPA = width
Best to be above median in both.

URMdan, could we please have your length & girth measurements performed by a 3rd party, length standardized as being measured from the TOP of the base to the tip of head, & girth wherever you choose.
Then, have the third party perform a water displacement test for total volume of penis.
Then I will decide whether to listen to what you have to say.

I thought about it. This doesn't make them seem more holistic. It just reinforces everything else they say which is, if you did it, include it. That includes the jobs that sustained you through UG. Also, people really misinterpret the importance of numbers. You need them to get your app read, but that's still a big group. They do read what you send.
