Attorney Resume Publishes a Guide for Legal Professionals 'The Perfect Legal

Resume'

PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Resume, a
subsidiary of Juriscape -- the world's leader in assisting legal
professionals with career-related needs -- announced electronic
publication of "The Perfect Legal Resume." This new overview of the
art of writing standout cover letters and resumes specifically
designed with the legal profession in mind was written by the CEO of
Juriscape, A. Harrison Barnes, and is envisioned as an indispensable
insider's guide to what legal employers are looking for in an
applicant.

"The Perfect Legal Resume" offers solutions to all resume-related
problems by providing a realistic and comprehensible look at the way
hiring works in the legal profession and then explains the proper way
to apply this knowledge to an application. Step-by-step chapters on
each section, from summary to education to miscellaneous honors and
qualifications, allow attorneys to understand the whys and wherefores
of a legal resume. The importance of cover letters and the reasons for
various different approaches are demystified. The guide helps readers
choose the strategy that is right for their own experience and goals.
There are many myths and misconceptions about the legal hiring process
and what mistakes can cause an application to be passed over. An
applicant needs to know how to present her/himself in the best
possible light without using genuinely deceptive language or falling
into any of the other common pitfalls on the way to accomplishing that
goal. "A great amount of effort and detail goes into writing a perfect
legal resume," said Barnes, "This book will make writing one a lot
easier for all legal professionals."

Attorney Resume expects this volume to become indispensable to
individual attorneys and legal recruiters and to be in great demand
for law libraries. A prospective employee's proficiency at
communicating their qualifications is the first criterion a firm has
in assessing the analytical and writing-related skills necessary for a
career in law. Legal students and experienced attorneys alike have
been in need of a text that clarifies the issues surrounding the
resume-writing process and how it works on an individual basis. "The
Perfect Legal Resume" will help both candidates and law firms in
understanding the reasons for formerly unwritten rules. A multitude of
sources across the county have been eagerly awaiting this publication,
including law firms, law schools' career services offices, and law
libraries. SOURCE Attorney Resume
