The purpose of a resume is to win an interview
with a prospective employer. A effective resume should convince
an employer that you are qualified for the position and
stimulates interest in meeting you and learning more about
your skills.
If you are in the legal field, use our free
Legal Resume Template to update your current resume for
free. When writing your own resume, look at the resume template
and take notice of how the resume is set up. Duplicate this
format with your own employment history and information.
We recommend that you use Microsoft Word for creating your
professional resume. A resume should be updated each time
you change legal jobs.
