Lawyers Should Drop Resumes

I whole-heartedly agree with Seth Godin’s point that resumes are pointless. Especially for lawyers.

They’re a way for Big Law to try to choose from hundreds (possibly thousands) of applicants that are clambering to enter their hallowed halls. It’s sort-of standardized testing. Give each applicant a single page (standard for lawyer resumes), and see what awesome things each person can include on the page.

I wonder what a big firm would do if somebody submitted a resume that was printed in landscape orientation. :)

This website is now my resume. You can read about me and you can also visit my other site if you want even more information.

It’s my way to show that I’m more than a single piece of paper.
