Dear Rising 2L, This legal resume tip explains how to make all your date entries line up perfectly, flush with the right margin.
Instead, I know, you’ve been tabbing and spacing over, trying to get it “just right” so your dates look straight.
Well, they don’t.
(When I turn on Word’s “Reveal Formatting” thing, I see all the little arrows and dots and sigh.)
Here’s an easier way.
