Bloomberg has quoted Akin Gump’s director of attorney recruiting, Lauren Marsh, in the article “11 Resume Rules Every Law Student Should Follow.” Marsh is among those offering advice on how law students can best position themselves to stand out from others and get the legal job they want.
According to Marsh, focusing on relevant experience is a critical step. “When describing prior work experience, include details that highlight your ability to lead and work with a team, collaborate with others, and provide client service,” she said.
“Some students,” Marsh added, “may assume they have no relevant skills if they did not work before attending law school – however, they should be sure to highlight the comparable experience they gained through internships or college activities. These are skills we highly value in our candidates, and an indicator they have developed skills that will enable them to be successful at the firm.”
