Tips for your lawyer CV

  1. Start each achievement with an action verb and end with a measurable result (percentage, amount, time).

  2. Use the keywords from the posting that you truly master; ATS look for exact matches.

  3. Keep one column, standard headings (Experience, Education, Skills) and avoid tables or charts.

One page if you have less than 8 years of experience; two at most.
