Resume advice
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 3:24 pm
Hey all,
I'd like to ask for some advice on a stylistic matter on my resume. It's the old "experience v.s. education first" issue. My education is pretty average-3.5 GPA (which, btw, I'm not sure whether I should include on there or not), and along with that I competed in moot court for 3 years and ranked among the top 10% in the nation one year, and also had poetry published in the school's art collage journal.
I think my experience stands out more than my education. 1.5 years at a law firm as a lobbyist, conducting research, comparing statutes, analyzing legislation, the whole 9 yards. and I did 4 internships before this job, all of which are relevant in a way to my applying to law school.
Long question(s) short, should I (A) include my 3.5 GPA on my resume and (B) put my education first or my experience first.
Thanks for the help.
