I’m a mid / senior associate (cusp) and a recruiter refined resume and it looks good but removed bullets under my summer/ internship headings (had been at the same firm and in house for a few years). Is this normal? I’ve gotten a few interviews with my resume as it was previously and just don’t know which to use going forward.

In the abstract, the more focus your resume is on law school internships, the less it seems like you’ve done since law school.

Yes, if I were a hiring manager and you had two jobs since your summer internship, I would expect no more than one bullet (if anything) on your summer gig. Have talked to others about this and they’ve agreed. Don’t think it’ll kill your chances either way, but unless you did something marvelous as a summer, no one will ask about it or care so it’s taking up valuable real estate.
