Job Resumes

Hey guys, just a reminder, only 92 short days away from the National Spelling Bee. To all participants NOT named josephine kao, I hope you're studying hard, cuz you need your A+++ game to beat the Contestant with the Mostest, Josephine the Spelling Queen.
(Btw, shout out to my ConLaw buddy DFisch, who tuned into the blog for the first time today and has been sucked in by my artful rhetoric).

Anyway, so as a 1L the big thing that's on most people's minds (at least, the ones who don't have one yet) is how to obtain that 1L summer job. I do have an interview coming up on wednesday, which gets me excited that I have prospects, but also reminds me that I have been rejected by the 2 places I've interviewed with already. Bleh. Anyway, to get a job you need a resume, and to fill up a resume you need credentials, positive attributes that describe you or positive experiences that you've had before that may qualify you for a job.

So as you may have guessed, I unleash Resumemania: a splurge of resumes from top basketball players, sports stars, guys in the news, Oscar winners, you name it. I'll start with #1:
