Before sitting down to draft or revise your resume, reflect on your targeted audience. Are you writing to a law firm, small nonprofit organization, large government agency, multi-national company, or local employer? Find out as much as you can about the types of projects in which you would be involved if hired. Based on that information, determine which skills you should highlight. For example, are your writing and research skills most important, or your communication and negotiation skills? Review your prior experiences to determine which ones best demonstrate the skills and attributes sought by the employer(s) to which you are writing. Your resume is your first opportunity to highlight your background and experiences in a way potential employers will find compelling. Because you have been in the working world for some period of time, you no longer need to be concerned about your resume being more than one page in length. However, do not take that to mean that your resume should be an exhaustive biography. To the contrary, use your resume to describe those experiences relevant to the job you seek. Employers consider your resume an example of your work product. As such, it must be concise, accurate, error-free, well-organized, clear, easy to read, and visually pleasing. Keep in mind that all information on your resume is fair game for employers to question during your interviews.  -Yale Law School Alumni
