Brooklyn Bar Association helps attorneys improve their resumes during COVID-19
More than two million New Yorkers have filed for unemployment since the COVID-19 pandemic started, and lawyers are not immune. To help laid-off attorneys and people who are simply looking for a new job, the Brooklyn Bar Association held a continuing legal education seminar to help ensure that lawyers are putting their best foot forward.
On Monday, May 18, Richard Klass, second vice president of the Brooklyn Bar Association, moderated a two-hour CLE entitled, “Resume Building and Interview Skills” along with panelists Andrea Bonina and David Sarnoff.
“Andrea Bonina is a past president of the Brooklyn Bar Association and the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association,” Klass said. “She is currently the chair of the 2nd Department Grievance Committee. She has a lot of experience in this area. She is familiar with interviewing people, how to construct a resume, and she is very helpful in giving insight from the employers’ side of this process.
