When is a 3 page resume acceptable?
I interviewed with Firm A months ago and accepted a position to start this upcoming fall. Group leader called me to offer the position back in November 2020. Besides interviewing with partners at the firms, and diligent follow ups notifying them of my interest to get started, no communication has transpired since.It turns out that I accepted a better offer w/ Firm B for personal reasons and won’t be going to Firm A. What is the best way to notify Firm A? Call/email group leader? Call/email HR?
Good morning. I am currently a senior associate in BugLaw, and I have applied to several trial attorney jobs in Chicago offices of federal agencies since the start of the pandemic. According to usajobs.gov, my applications to the DOJ and CFTC were “referred,” and my application to the SEC was received and my GS scale verified. But I haven’t received any updates on these applications in over a month. Does anyone here have any insights on these or on federal hiring generally? Thanks!

I think it looks fine. 2 years is a pretty average tenure for your first job and the others are self explanatory. Just present yourself professionally and stress you’re looking for a better match where you can see yourself long term.
I’ve seen and hired worst timelines, its all about how you present it
Agreed. Would it be an idea to briefly (one line ) say reason for leaving on resume as you need to get through front door and if there are a lot of applicants then you dont want it to put them off.
It sounds like you’ve been working around the time Covid started, so you get a pass. If this is over the spread of 6+ years then this is pretty bad.

I agree with kpmg. Yes you do look like a job hopper and you will have to come up with a plausible story to explain it.
Can you work with a professional who can help you look at your resume and strategize? A friend of mine could’ve been consider a serial hopper however, they were specific circumstances and she was able to achieve her dream job in the mist of the 2008 financial crisis. Mind you it was no longer in finance, but they did not care about it because they were looking for job work life balance with young children. They did hire a professional to work with them, however. Good luck!!!
I agree. Doesn't look great. Volatile startup I can get behind. Think about your explains for the other two. Layoffs, ok...but why you, or why your department? Can only get away with one or two short stints without some good explanation.
