Location/In-Person: Ballard Spahr 1735 Market Street, 48th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19103
The Career Strategies Office is acutely aware of the difficulty for law students to get noticed in a competitive job market. A strong resume and solid interviewing skills are often the primary ways students can distinguish themselves.
To help students develop these critical skills, Ballard Spahr cordially invites six KSoL diverse first-year law students to participate in the firm’s 17th Annual Resume Writing and Interviewing Skills Workshop, which will be held in person, on March 1, 2023. Ballard’s Diverse Lawyers Group hosts this event each year to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession.
Participating students will have the opportunity to meet with practicing legal professionals in one-on-one sessions designed to provide frank and informative feedback on the materials and skills necessary for landing a position in the legal field.
Due to the individualized nature of the workshop, space is limited. CSO will maintain a waitlist of two students who will be accommodated if space allows.
Program
After a presentation on resume writing and interviewing, students will participate in mock interviews with practicing attorneys and will receive individualized feedback.
