[QUOTE="jam1999, post: 34689, member: 5159"] HI [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] I have a few questions about creating a legal CV! [LIST=1] [*]If I have chosen to separate my CV into 'legal work experience' and 'other work experience', can I include work at Citizens Advice Service / Support Through Court / Prisoners' Advice Service and so on as 'legal work experience' or should that only include partner shadowing / vac schemes? [*]Does it look bad that most of the jobs I have had that consitute as 'other work experience' have not been long-lasting? As I have just finished university, I have spent the last few years working jobs in term-time at university, and then different summer jobs each summer. Therefore, my summer jobs have only lasted a few months and as I moved home each summer, I have had to leave the jobs I was working in Bristol so they are also no more than 9 months or so. [*]Is it worth grouping jobs together e.g I have nannied for various different families and I have worked in a few different bars? This seems to make far more sense (otherwise the whole thing is so repetitive) but the issue is if I group the jobs, I cant put down one employer or clear dates in which I worked in this industry. Any tips? [/LIST] Thanks! [/QUOTE]
