[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 227246, member: 42112"] Hi! I would say that generally it is okay for there to be overlap between your CV and the work experience section - this is to be expected! A good approach could be: 1. [B]CV: [/B]Keep this concise and highlight the strongest / most relevant experiences (legal and non-legal) 2. [B]Work Experience Section: [/B]Use this space to expand on roles you didn't have room to fully explain on your CV, or to include additional non-legal / extracurricular experience that shows transferable skills You don't need to force a strict divide between just having legal on your CV and everything else in the work experience section - the key is that the overall picture is coherent and shows your candidate profile as a whole. I hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
