Legal resumes with a bit of experience?

Anyone have any resources they like for post-law school resumes? Haven’t updated the resume since law school and will need a fresh coat of paint.

I asked an attorney I know who reviews a lot of resumes to give mine a look. If you can find someone, particularly who practices the same type of law, to give your resume a fresh set of eyes, that can be beneficial. I practice restructuring and could f find any resources. I bet your law school career center folks would also take a look.
