What to Include on Your Resume

When putting together your resume, the small details really do make a big difference. To help us (and potential employers) get the clearest picture of your background, Pernini Legal recommends including the following information:
- Year of graduation for both your undergraduate and graduate degrees
- Field of study – what you majored in or focused on
- Bar admissions (and the year you were admitted)
- Languages you speak or write fluently
- Honors or law review experience
These pieces of information not only highlight your accomplishments but also make it much easier for us to match you with the right opportunities. Taking a few extra minutes to add them in can go a long way toward making your resume stand out.
