This means you have just over a minute to sell yourself and your strengths to the reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is easier said than done. Three-quarters of CVs are rejected due to bad grammar, spelling, or poor visual layout. So what makes a successful job application?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are our top tips for structuring your Associate Lawyer CV, to help you stand out from the crowd, and get noticed by legal recruiters and law firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-overview\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The objective of your CV is to help you stand out from the crowd and to secure an interview. It should create a positive impression about you in the mind of the interviewer before you meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some advertisements have significant response levels so keeping your CV brief and punchy is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also needs to be professional, business-like and easy to read; focusing on your key achievements and most importantly &#8211; aligned to the role you\u2019re applying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-structure\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend splitting your CV into four sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.
