I got my resume redone, and it looks fabulous. Thanks to the lady at the firm, it looks more beautiful than ever, and I think it might be a hit. If only I could get over my fear of interviews- but I guess the only way to do that is to keep going on them and to keep getting used to being in that kind of situation. | law | 13 | female | 0 | 1476558 | 1476558:2 | law | 24 | twenties | pisces |
