Set a Goal: Perfect Your Resume Before Spring Break

By: Kandice Thorn

If you haven't already done it, now is the time to get your resume polished and perfected!

Opportunities come up suddenly and often require a quick response.  When someone says "send me your resume," you should be able to send it ASAP.  If you aren't able to respond with your resume immediately, the person could think you are either uninterested or disorganized and you might miss out on a valuable opportunity.


Now is the perfect time to work on your resume - the craziness of the start of the semester is behind us and finals are still a ways off.  If you perfect your resume before spring break, you can use that week to send out those resumes in a targeted mailing to a number of employers.

Fordham LL.M. students can access the Resume Drafting Mini-Guide and submit their resumes for review at http://law.fordham.edu/llm-program/18749.htm.  Remember that it can take weeks to finalize a resume.  Start today and set your goal to have a polished resume before spring break!
