1. Start with the DA internship itself Before writing anything, figure out what the internship likely values. A District Attorney's office is likely interested in someone who can demonstrate strong writing and communication, research and information-gathering, critical thinking, attention to detail, professionalism and reliability, interest in law, government, or the justice system, ability to work with sensitive information appropriately, community involvement, and leadership and teamwork. 2. Make a "relevance dump" School classes, activities, work/volunteering, projects, skills Then ask of every item: Does this demonstrate something a DA's office would value? If yes, keep it. If not, it may belong lower on the resume or be removed. 3. Expand activities that u kept 4. Use a simple structure.
