Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.

Tailoring is good. If you can have a contact send you a referral link to apply through, that can help. I wouldn’t lead with remote.

At my company (and I would think generally) it can come from literally anyone internal. It may or may not get a little more weight if it comes from a lawyer or someone in the relevant business unit, but the better way to get weight that way is to have those people send a note to the relevant recruiter.

Literally copy and paste the job description and requirements into your existing resume so that the bot ranks your relevance as high as possible. Stating the obvious, but like make an effort to blend it in.

The remote thing is definitely seen as a negative by some companies. I’d stop saying that in your application

Yeah, I figured the remote thing is a negative but partly I wanted to be upfront on that. For a number of positions, as part of the application, you need to check if you are applying for a particular office or remote. Seems like maybe the right approach is to check all the boxes and then discuss location further down the road.

You need an internal referral. I get literally thousands of resumes a day. Even if you’re fantastic I may never see you. Best way to get seen is through an internal referral.

This is helpful and I will definitely plan to try to get an internal referral if and where possible. Seems like it can only help and it definitely isn’t harmful.

I’ve been getting invaluable experience at a boutique litigation firm. The only things is, the firm hasn’t evolved with work culture.

Is this worth leaving? Btw, I’m a first year.
