[QUOTE="Lastseasonwonder, post: 118012, member: 4218"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] I've just come across this thread and I have a question regarding CVs (for paralegal roles). I'm content with my structure, but very curious as to how I should write about my experiences. Should it be fact-based or also go into detail about the skills gained/used? For example (not very well written, but I hope you understand my gist!): (a) "During my vacation scheme, I completed a corporate exercise whereby I drafted [document] by utilising my attention to detail". (b) "During my vacation scheme, I completed a corporate exercise whereby I drafted [document]". Also, are open days/one day insight schemes worth putting on a CV when applying for paralegal roles? What would you suggest are the most important/relevant experiences to put on a CV for one to have the best chances of securing a good paralegal role? [/QUOTE]
