I Know It's Only June, But . . .

I realize that it's only the first week of June and everyone is still settling into their summer jobs, but it's not too early to start thinking about your marketing materials for this fall.  Fall recruiting will be here before you know it!  Many schools have resume drops that occur as early as July.  Now is the time to start revising your resume.   Remember to add your summer employment, update your GPA with Spring 2008 grades, add recent honors and law review or moot court membership, if appropriate, etc.  Most importantly, don't forget to have others proofread for you.  Remember that folks in your Career Services Office want to help you and will happily review your resume, but you have to get it to them before recruiting deadlines.
