Уважаемые форумчане, очень прошу конструктивной критики в адрес моего резюме (скопированно ниже), ибо есть большие сомнения в том, что оно написано в американском стиле.
Предыстория: Закончила ВУЗ в Украине по специальности юрист. Более 6 лет усердно трудилась на благо отечества в основном в юридических фирмах в Киеве. В январе 2012 переехала в США. На данный момент имею на руках разрешение на работу в США. На английском говорю и пишу свободно.
Понимаю, что паралигалом в данный момент вряд-ли меня возьмут (хочу в ближайшем будущем пойти получать LLM), поэтому ищу любую работу (офис-менеджера, юридического секретаря и т.п.). В этой связи и хотелось узнать Ваше мнение на предмет того, как можно подкорректировать резюме, чтобы оно не пугало американских работодателей.
Заранее признательна.
