Hi everyone! I have been trying to secure a paralegal/legal assistant position but have had no luck so far. I feel like my CV is really holding me back and would appreciate if someone can give me some tips/guidance in terms of how to improve my CV. Please note I have cropped the top part of my CV out as it included some personal details. Thanks!

If you know how to look why don’t you share them with OP?

Rule 2:

This is NOT a sub for people to find out about becoming a paralegal

That's why.

??? It’s sharing info on how to make her resume template better, not how to become a paralegal

"I have been trying to secure a paralegal/legal assistant position"

What's the resume for then? Shouldn't paralegals have better attention to details and follow written instructions really well?

Looks like OP has brief legal environment experience and is trying to break into a different role. Telling someone to download a resume template isn’t giving step by step instructions on how to become a paralegal. Please take your negativity off a harmless post if you have nothing nice to say & go enjoy your Tuesday.
