Basic Resume and Cover Letter Writing Workshop:

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

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.
