[quote=Anonymous]I'm currently a fed attorney and I recently went on an interview for another fed attorney position. One interviewer commented that my resume didn't highlight my "accomplishments" in my job. He wanted to know what awards I had won, etc. I explained that as an employment/labor lawyer in my agency we don't get awards or formal recognition other than we performance awards (in the days before budget freezes and sequestration). He indicated that instead of listing my job duties on my resume (i.e., Represent management before the EEOC...) I should highlight my "accomplishments." In my 10 years as an attorney I've never heard of this. Is this how other government attorneys do it? Can you give me some examples of what you would list. I don't really think it is appropriate to say "I won ___ cases on summary judgment" or "I wrote ___ ethics advisory memos." [/quote]
