Now that you are an official graduate, be sure to update your resume to reflect your status. Here are a few tips:
First, as opposed to "JD expected May 2014" your resume should now read "JD conferred May 2014" or Juris Doctor conferred May 2014.".
Second, if you are searching for a job in another state and you will be taking that state's bar examination, you can also make a note at the top of your resume indicating that. Anything that you can do to show your connection to the geographic region of your job search will be beneficial. If you are unsure of how to incorporate it, let us know and we will work with you on an individual basis. E-mail lawcareer@unl.edu.
