When I'm making my resume for law school is it the same as I'd use for a job? Or are there changes that needs to be made?

Hey Johnny,

It's largely the same as the one you would use for a job. But, in the same way you might slant your resume for a particular job you are seeking, you'd do the same for a law school application resume. For example, if you had written somewhere about your interest in international law, then perhaps you'd play up the fact that you speak Spanish fluently or that you'd studied abroad for a year. I look at the resume as simply another piece that should support your overall message, so first establish that, then adjust your resume accordingly.

Here's a piece I did on the Resume a while back that might help a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dNtrpNPXeU.

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!
