Your CV is the first chance you get to make a good impression on a potential employer. A top-
quality CV will considerably boost your chance of getting a face-to-face interview, so it is worth
1
 spending time and effort on the content and presentation. It will make all the difference in
obtaining the job you want. You must therefore highlight your skills, expertise and value.
Make sure that you are concise and accurate. Your CV should not, generally, be longer than
two pages, so make sure that you tailor it specifically to the job you are applying for and
include the skills, qualifications and experience which are most suited to the job. An employer
will want to find the following information in your CV:

Personal details – Include your name and address, a phone number, and your email address. You
may also add your nationality, gender and date of birth if you wish, but they are not obligatory.

Personal profile – This is optional, but it can be very effective in summarising your areas of expertise
and characteristics. It is good to include your enthusiasm about working as a Legal Secretary and
what motivates you about the industry. Use keywords and keep it brief and concise.

Key Skills – Include any skills you have learnt such as secretarial or IT skills. Explain what you think
your personal skills are.

Employment history – Start with your current or last employer and work backwards. You should
include the dates of employment, your job title, name of employer, nature of business,
responsibilities, duties and achievements. Try not to leave gaps in your employment history; if you do,
it is advisable to account for such times.

Education and qualifications – Write in chronological order a brief list of school, college and university
qualifications, such as GCSEs, A levels, etc., together with the grades you obtained. Then list any
further qualifications you have obtained, together with the names of the awarding bodies. When you
include the Legal Secretaries Diploma, make sure that you mention the units you covered and that
you studied through The Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs. If you are currently studying for a
qualification, mention it together with any results achieved so far.

Interests – This is optional but gives you a chance to portray something about your personality. Keep
it simple, mention what you do in your free time and note any achievements.

References – There is no need to write the details of your referees on your CV. Simply state that they
are available on request, but make sure that you know who your referees are and that you have
asked their permission to use them.

Presentation as well as content is important. There is no set way in which to present your CV but the
following advice should be noted:
