Using the Power of the Web to Spice up Your Job Application |
|
|
|
|
|
Experts generally advice not to deviate from the traditional form of resumes, especially in case of attorneys, and that is good advice. However, the need to differentiate is also overwhelming in a tight job market, and we need to find ways to spice up presentations of our selves without seeming crass, or crossing the bounds of propriety. |

The Marketing Mix in Your Attorney Resume |
|
|
|
|
|
Your resume is essentially an advertisement for you as a candidate, and for lack of options, it also needs to serve as a holistic marketing instrument. While outright false claims (common to commodity advertisements) are inappropriate for a resume, creative crafting of claims is not, provided they remain within limits of safety. Like any advertisement, the true purpose of a resume is to ''grab the attention'' of the viewer and ''urge him to make a purchase decision,'' i.e., compel him or her to buy into your claims and fire the recruiter's interest sufficiently to generate an interview call. |

Preparing an Administrative Law Judge Resume |
|
|
|
|
|
Usually, the ALJ announcement is opened and closed within a short span of one or two days. Sometimes, the time is even less than 48 hours. So, attorneys who aspire to work as an Administrative Law Judge for the Federal government, need to have a search agent set on sniper mode for receiving alerts, as soon as announcements commence. |

Removing Irrelevant Details from Your Job Application |
|
|
|
|
|
Irrelevant details are extremely relevant - as far as editing and shaping your cover letter and resume for a job is concerned. While it is now the trend, as well as need, to create job or position specific resumes rather than a general optimized resume, the end-result of trying to focus a resume can often be poor. One of the biggest reasons is that while candidates usually pay some professional resume writer at least once in their lives to create an optimized general resume, hiring a professional resume writer for every job applied for cannot be afforded. |

Common Errors That Can Creep Into Any Attorney Resume |
|
|
|
|
|
Errors are errors because you fail to notice them. The majority of silly mistakes like typos or proofreading errors should never have worked against a good candidate, but they do, since recruiters view these as lack of professionalism and sincerity. |

Writing a Balanced Cover Letter |
|
|
|
|
|
Writing a cover letter is an art and a cover letter can reveal much about the candidate to experienced reviewers. If the recruiter infers something against his or her liking in the cover letter itself, that can make him or her biased and reduces the chances of the candidate to receive an interview call. On the other hand, positive impressions created right at the beginning through the cover letter itself increases the chances of receiving an interview call for any candidate. This simple equation holds true as much for attorneys and legal jobs as for people in other occupational fields. |

Pointing Out Your Work-Roles |
|
|
|
|
|
Attorney resumes are expected to reflect the mindset of a good attorney and should be intelligently detailed. However, lack of space and the need to finish the resume within a maximum of two pages, or preferably a single page, handicaps us from presenting much of the relevant information that could have worked for us. |
