Passport to Diversity Initiative: Eye-Catching Resumes: Crafting a Resume That Employers Will Notice

We’ve all heard the rules and requirements for legal resumes, but what is it that employers really want to see.  What makes them chose one resume over another?  These legal insiders will let you in on the resume components that catch their eye and the ones that make them pass. A panel of 2-4 Baker & McKenzie LLP attorneys will discuss the dos and don’ts of resume writing.
