When I look at some of the profiles, some lawyers at top firms just have the institution they graduated from and the firm they work at. I personally quite like that layout because it's neat, succinct and professional. I am guilty of thinking that some of the profiles look a little 'desperate' (no judgement though - just how they come across) because they include every little thing.

I don't know how much to include on my profile either - i.e. do student society positions count? Should they be under Work Experience section or under Education? What about the following:
- Prizes
- Networking events attended (that didn't require an application/ non-competitive)
- Virtual events
