1. First Impressions Count
- 85% of legal recruiters spend less than 60 seconds on a CV—make every word count.
- A CV is often the first filter for interviews, making it critical in a highly competitive market.
- Tip: Use a professional template and keep the design organized for instant impact.
2. Personal Brand Statement
- Lawyers with a compelling, tailored profile are 2x more likely to get interview callbacks.
- Begin with a strong personal statement or summary highlighting unique expertise and career goals.
- Tip: Use action verbs—advocated, negotiated, advised—to show achievements, not just duties.
3. Quantify Achievements
- Applicants who quantify successes (e.g., “90% litigation win rate”) see up to 40% more interview offers.
- Stats to use: “Represented 150+ clients in arbitration” or “Managed contracts worth R500m+”.
- Tip: Always link accomplishments to measurable outcomes.
4. Tailor and Target Each CV
- Tailored CVs are 3x more likely to result in interviews versus generic submissions.
- Match keywords and skills to each job specification—legal research, contract review, client advisory.
- Tip: Have a core CV, but adjust for each new application.
5. Proof and Polish
- 1 in 4 legal CVs are rejected for simple errors—attention to detail is vital.
- Always review for grammar, accuracy, and update regularly as your expertise grows.
- Tip: Ask a trusted peer or mentor to review before sending.
