In reply to Lawyer Seeking Résumé Critique:
Butterick:
I feel like I posted a question to a physics forum and just got a response from Enrico Fermi! I'm so grateful for your efforts to show the legal profession why typography matters. A few years ago, you might have been a lone voice crying out in the wilderness. But many lawyers have since embraced your cause.
I learned stuff on your website that dramatically changed my understanding of my own job as a lawyer. The bottom line is this: lawyers who don't care about typography are lawyers who do their work badly, and that's inexcusable. So let me thank you first for your influential website and book. Now I'll thank you again for reviewing my CV and giving me your sensible comments.
The forum has offered me so much valuable input. Those hanging indents in the columns are hideously distracting, aren't they? They make the document look like an old IBM punch card. That will be an easy fix.
After I make some comprehensive revisions to my CV, then maybe I'll seek the forum's advice again. For now, however, I think it would be prudent to take down the draft versions that I posted here earlier (if I can still make that happen).
Thanks,
Zack Brown
