ADVERTISEMENTS

OCI is starting super early this year. Which means I need to work harder at shedding some pounds since my suits still don't fit right. Sucks. I bought a couple "professional" dresses that coupled with a jacket will be fine for interviews, but I much prefer my "power suits." I don't like to show my legs in an interview.

Anyway, since my class rank took a hit thanks to Med Liability and finally getting my Tax grade, I'm no longer "top 50%," I'm now somewhere slightly lower than that. So, how do I put that on my resume? I omitted my gpa and class rank while looking for jobs in 1L and I found that people assumed it was much worse than it was, rather than just mediocre. But if I put my gpa on the resume, it's not very impressive, especially since I'm applying for some federal jobs competing with kiddies at other schools that have higher curves. Career services is zero help. So what do you think? Do I put "Middle 1/3"? "Top 60%"? 2.6-whatever gpa?

Where exactly does it get pathetic? Top 75%? Top 90%? Top 98%? Hey, at least I'm not last? Meh.

Ugh, I don't even get to be plain ol' mediocre, I'm now below mediocre. Fantastic. Job hunting stresses me out.
