Creating a Law Student CV for a training contract can feel challenging. You’ve probably created CVs for part-time jobs before, but this is a completely different ball game. In order to impress employers and land the best training contract, your CV needs to be compelling, professional and tailored to your target role. Personal details LCP Student I like the way you have highlighted in bold that you are an LPC/LLM student as this makes it very clear to potential employers what you are. We are seeing more and more CVs with a link to candidates' LinkedIn profiles so if have one worth adding on. Just adds an extra smidge of professionalism and makes you look social media savvy Education of LPC The first thing that strikes me here is that you have not put in your results for anything. If you don’t put them in anyone reading your CV will assume you’ve missed them off as they were terrible. Unless you got a third for your degree put the degree classification on. When you finish it, a pass is perfectly acceptable for the LPC but if you do better than this is even more of a bonus. To add a little colour and interest to what can be a dry, rather boring section you could add in your LPC electives and add in your degree dissertation title if interesting. Skills in your Students Here is the section where you can list your computer and language skills. Don’t use full sentences though. Should be a bullet-pointed list. Also with regards to your computer skills list the software that you have used egg Word, Excel, etc. Did you use any packages with REDACTED – presuming yes given your role there? As you progress in law, include any specific legal software packages, case management systems, and legal databases you have used. If you have an exceptional typing speed above say 50 wpm it is worth mentioning here. State your degree of fluency in your languages i.e. whether any are mother tongue Another thing you can state in this section is a Full, Clean Driving Licence if you have one. You don’t need to put that you were an admin assistant or receptionist – these were roles you did not have skills have.
