Resume Reviewed (Or Please Judge Me Now)

Attorneys from Patton Boggs were here this afternoon to review students' resumes. My session went better than I feared.

I know I have some things going for me. One of them is work history, which I'm told many of my peers don't have. Even though my past employment wasn't law related, it does signal that I can hold a job.

Still, there is something inherently depressing in working on a document that distills a lifetime of experiences into a single page of bullet points that you're going to hand to a stranger to judge you by.

I concur. Dang bullet points.
