The members of the Graduate Professional Development office have put together a manual on how to draft resumes called the LL.M. Professional Development Manual. We also suggest using this handbook as a career planning resource during your job search process. During the academic year, we encourage you to attend our workshops and drop-in sessions on resume, cover letter and business correspondence writing.
If you are interested in reviewing templates of resumes and cover letters in order to self-critique your resume, we encourage you to use the following link: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/graduate/SampleandGuidelinesforResumesandCoverLetters.htm.
Although there is no one correct way to write a resume or cover letter, it can be useful to have someone else review these items to help ensure that they are free and clear of errors. To facilitate this process, we offer a service whereby you can submit your resume and/or cover letter electronically for review. To use the Resume Review service, simply send your resume and/or your cover letter, after the Add/Drop period each semester, to:
- resreviewintl@law.georgetown.edu, if you are a foreign-trained LL.M. student or,
- resreviewus@law.georgetown.edu, if you are a U.S.-trained LL.M. student
The Graduate Professional Development will make every effort to reply within a week, although occasionally this is impossible due to high volume. For this reason, please send your resume and/or any other business correspondence well in advance of any deadline.
