Your name should be in capital letters on the top of the résumé
NAME:
in larger font not to exceed 16. Avoid the use of nicknames. An
initial is not sufficient for the first name.
If you have two addresses (temporary and permanent), both
ADDRESS:
should be used. Also, indicate both telephone numbers and the
area codes. Include your email address and cellular phone
number. Address terms such as Street, Road or Lane should be
spelled out, not abbreviated. Permanent Addresses are
particularly helpful when you plan to return to your hometown
for summer or permanent employment. Permanent Addresses
can help demonstrate a connection to the area, or a lack thereof.
Therefore, exercise judgment in determining whether to include
them. For instance, if you are seeking employment in Georgia,
but are from out of state, do NOT include your permanent
address.
CAREER
Be aware that this statement can be limiting if you are interested
OBJECTIVE:
in a number of employment options. Follow the general rule:
Do not use an objective on your résumé. A cover letter can
specify your interest in particular types of jobs eliminating the
need to do it on the résumé.
PERSONAL
This information, including birth date and place and marital
DATA:
status, should NOT be included on your résumé.
This should be the first section on your résumé. Education
EDUCATION:
should include all academic institutions that you attended
AFTER high school, degrees awarded, graduation dates, college
major and/or minors, special honors and student activities. Your
academic background should be presented in reverse
chronological order, with law school first. You may wish to
devote specific sections under each academic institution to
honors and student activities. These will highlight
accomplishments and enhance readability. Indicate your
graduation date; do not use terms such as "expect to graduate,"
"hope to" or "anticipate." It is not necessary to include high
school, unless it indicates a connection to the geographic area,
which is otherwise not visible from the remainder of the résumé.
