Seeking resume advice - I’m 10 years out of law school and currently job searching. My resume is one page and I still have my law school internships under “Experience”. Should I place those under “Education”, create a new section called “Additional Experience”, or remove them altogether? If I remove them, it’ll cut my “Experience” section in half. Thanks for any advice!

Education - but one line each and beef up your experience with post-grad experience.

Thank you!!

It’s also fine for your resume to be 1.5 pages at this point but your internships should be smaller than post-grad experience.

I'd remove them unless they're somehow relevant. My two 1L summer internships are off my resume because they're not relevant and I've been practicing for long enough that no one would care even if they were. I worked at my 2L summer associate firm for several years, so I just note that on my resume as "Firm Name - Summer Associate (Summer 201x), Associate (October 201x to June 201x)." While a longer resume is obviously ok at this stage in your career, I'm not sure if it should be longer because of whatever you did before you started actually practicing.

Thanks for the ideas!

Since I only had one post law school job, and was in that job an extended period of time, I left them, but only had a short line for my experience. I managed to land a job at a place where people the people I worked with one summer are now managing partners. I moved my law school and post college experience [I worked in the legal field for six years before law school] to "other relevant experience," and put it towards the end, after my education and admissions.

Thanks for sharing, I like that idea!

Guys, your interpretation of today's townhall. Should we get our hopes up?

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
