An employer associates a good resume with a good employee. This is especially true for the resume of applicants for the position of a lawyer, because the ability to own words and information are the most important skills of this profession.
Instructions
Step 1
At the beginning of your resume, indicate what position you are applying for. Sometimes an employer opens several suitable vacancies. In this case, you should indicate the names of several positions, in any of which you are ready to work, for example, “Legal Counsel; Head of the legal department . For the convenience of the employer's HR department, type the job title in bold type or highlight it in red if you are printing your resume on a color printer. You can also use the CapsLock key.
Step 2
Enter your personal data: last name, first name, patronymic, year of birth, address, phone number, marital status. Optionally, you can post your photo.
Step 3
Devote the first paragraph of your resume to information about your education. Indicate the educational institution you graduated from, years of study, GPA. If at the end of your studies you were awarded a red diploma, reflect this fact as well. This item should also include information about postgraduate education, the availability of an academic degree, specialized or related additional education (courses, seminars).
Step 4
In the next paragraph, describe your work experience. List the organizations in which you worked in sequence. For each place of work, indicate the position, period of work and your main responsibilities, for example: "2000-2005, JSC" Olymp ", legal adviser: contractual work, consultations on tax law, representation in arbitration courts and courts of general jurisdiction".
Step 5
Devote a separate item to additional information about yourself. Give information about the branches of law in which you are a specialist. At the same time, you should not create the false impression that you are equally well versed in any branch of law. Many employers are sure that a good lawyer is not one who deals with everything, but one who, having a good general base, specializes in one or three selected areas. List your positive business qualities, such as hard work, responsibility, resistance to stress, willingness to work in conditions of irregular working hours, the ability to find a compromise with an opponent. Indicate the skills you have that are important for the proposed job: the ability to work on a computer, use the legal bases "Consultant Plus", "Guarantor"; knowledge of foreign languages; literacy; mastery of public speaking; speed reading, etc.
Step 6
When you finish writing your resume, check how correctly it is written in terms of spelling, punctuation, and syntax.
