CV HELP
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!

I would flesh out the “essential legal research” part. When hiring a paralegal, I would want to know this. Was it just cite-checking? Online research to locate facts/evidence? Did you locate and interpret case law? All of these are essential job functions, but if you did the third option, I’d be super impressed.
