qualifications on cv
Thanks you so much. I agree with your point :) I was just worried that I didn't include the btec subject on my cv and employers might be confused if they ask evidence of my GCSE certificates.- mkap

qualifications on cv
Thank you so much for your help. I was told once by the career service in my uni that I don’t need to include it because it’s not relevant and it was taking up more space in my cv.- mkap

Bad grade in module
I was thinking do I need mention this grade at any point of the recruitment process if the firm doesn’t ask a module breakdown and the role doesn’t involve IP work (like private client work)? Also do you think it will affect my prospects of getting a training contract in the future?- mkap

Bad grade in module
I am worried about a module I performed poorly in during my third year of law school. I got a third in IP which really shocked me because I achieved 2.1s and 1sts in all my other modules (with the exception of one 2.2 during first year). Luckily, I still graduated with a 2.1. I am in process...- mkap

I was wondering for the question below do I need to give specific examples. For example, do I need to mention example of a time where I had handled pressure well at work or just mention the skill I had developed in a experience.
