Resume Supplements

If you are a more senior associate or partner, it is often better to list only a summary in your resume and to include separate addendum pages to describe the details of your representative cases or transactions (e.g., at the end of an entry, you can write: “For details on the Securities, M&A and Corporate Lending experience listed above, please see the Representative Transactions sheet attached to the end of this resume”).

Isolating such details can help keep your resume succinct. It can also help the employer understand the big picture of your skills rather than getting mired in the details.
