If you're a paralegal, aspiring solicitor or barrister applying to law firms or chambers then you're going to need to be able to draft a Legal C.V. To walk you through the process I review 2 Legal CVs: a 3rdyear law student's C.V & law graduate's C.V (my C.V), comparing the two and showing you all the fatal mistakes to avoid along the way.

I want to talk to you about the secrets to creating a successful legal CV and how to avoid fatal mistakes that can hinder your chances of landing a job interview. Crafting a legal CV that stands out and grabs attention is a challenging task, and I've personally experienced the struggles and uncertainties that come with it. I've attended numerous CV workshops, revised my own CV countless times, and even modeled it after successful candidates who secured job offers. Through this journey, I've discovered the crucial details that can make or break your CV during the selection process.

In this video, I aim to compare a law student's CV with a law graduate's CV, which happens to be my own. We'll go through each section together, examining the structure and content.

I want to express my gratitude to the law student who allowed me to critique their CV in this video. Rest assured, I've anonymized all the information. Now let's get started with Jane Doe's CV, where we'll uncover some initial issues and systematically review each section. From the template selection to the structure and content, we'll address common mistakes and highlight improvements.

So, without further ado, let's begin the journey of optimizing your legal CV for success!
