Basic Resume and Cover Letter Writing Workshop:

Wednesday, February 10, 2010
12:15 pm and 5:15 pm
Room W-206

Chris Nolan from Perantinides & Nolan and Jack Weisensell from Bernlohr Wertz will talk about effective resumes and what firms look for when they hire law clerks and new attorneys.

This is a great opportunity for students to hear directly from employers what they should and shouldn’t include on their resumes and how to make themselves stand out from the crowd.

Students who attend either session will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Applebee’s Gift Card.

Copies of our new Career Planning handbook will also be available for students at this workshop.
