[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 30426, member: 2672"] generally 2 pages is acceptable when applying in the U.K. However you may want to have a 1 page version, particularly if you are applying to US firms. In the US, a 1 page CV is the expectation and so there is a possibility that a US firm want a 1 page CV, even if applying for a U.K. role. If a firm has social media/networking events, then you could always ask the question to them directly though. personal statements are usually a complete waste of time. They are generally cliched or vague in terms of content, or superseded by other parts of an application (like a cover letter or online application form). The only time I recommend them is if you don’t have to provide any other information but your CV and if your CV suggest a massive change of direction towards law. [/QUOTE]
