You may receive a scholarship or fellowship as part of summer or post-graduate employment, like a law firm diversity scholarship or a public interest fellowship. If space permits, provide a very brief description of the selection criteria. Examples include the Tilman Scholarship the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans and the NAACP LDF Earl Warren Civil Rights Scholarship. For scholarships and fellowships, those that are not based solely on financial need and are awarded through a competitive process make sense to list as honors.
If you are a joint degree candidate or already have other advanced degrees, consider the level of connection between the degree and the position you seek in deciding the amount of space you devote to those degrees.List your degrees in reverse chronological order and include the school name, location, degree and degree date or when expected.
If you wish to include them, the heading is a reasonable place to provide your gender pronouns. You may decide to include your permanent address on your résumé in addition to your current address if you are applying for jobs in or near your home state, and your connection to that area is not already apparent on your résumé.The heading should include your name, mailing address, telephone number, and Yale email address at the top of your resume.As you navigate through YLS, enhance your career-related experience through activities including clinic, student organizations, centers, journal, research assistant positions and the like. Use a standard font such as Times New Roman, and a font size of 11 point. Most law student resumes should be one page in length.
To be effective, it must be brief while still offering enough information to interest the employer. The reader of your resume will probably spend no more than 30 seconds reviewing it.
