Before you join us, get a head start on understanding CVs. Here's some resources that we recommend:

  1. Content of your CV: what to include (video from CareerHub+) (3 mins)
  2. Bragging vs Self Promotion on your CV (blog from Careers Services) (4 mins)
  3. Other CV Types (video from LinkedIn Learning) (5 mins)
  4. Writing a Legal CV and Cover Letter (article from Prospects) (4 mins)
  5. Form and Substance (podcast from Guardian Careers) (9 mins)
