Pretty Little Flower
I have read approximately sixteen million resumes in my legal career, and I am also much smarter and prettier than all of you, so I am supremely qualified to offer a little bit of advice. I should probably post this on some Law Students board, by I do not even know if there is one here, and it is not like I give a tenth of an ass of a fifth of a rat about any of those fuckers anyway. So, here is my advice: set yourself apart. The other day, I was reading a resume, and I look down to the "Personal Interests" section, and I see that this dude is into "travel." Whoooaaaa! Travel?!? Huh. So, like, this guy enjoys vacations! By some crazy freakin' coincidence, so do I! That is great interview fodder. "I couldn't help but notice that you enjoy travel. Fascinating. Tell me about all the trips you have ever taken." Here is another good one. "Reading." Unless you are the most voracious devourer of books I have ever met, and write book reviews on the side, putting on your resume that you like reading is the equivalent of writing "I am boring" in your interests section. Finally, I am conflicted about this one: "Spending time with family." I mean, O.K., I get it, you are a committed family member, and that is nice. But how many people who have families are not interested in spending time with them? How many of those people are willing to admit that in an interview, anyway? My point being, putting that on your resume tells me as much about you as if you put down "breathing." "Personal interests: I enjoy eating, breathing, and spending time with my family (with whom I live)." Thanks a lot. We're going to spend a fun half hour together.
