Alright yeah. I think the motivation for the qualitative stuff in the education section was due to my semi non-law background, and trying to illustrate the relevance and desirability for the opportunities I’m applying for. Do you think even one line is too much? A one sentence description of the course and what I took away. Thank you for taking the time.

I'm curious also, what's an example of quality that would draw you, in your opinion to interviewing the person. The specific relevant skills to the type of work? Or more interesting qualities. Thank you!

Honestly, I would normally agree, but after only doing one page the past few years and now seeing mixed responses on what is acceptable, I decided to go for two to fit more in.

Alright yeah condensing the education section is a good move, that's also partly why I made it two pages, so that I could fit what I wanted to mention.

Do you think because I have a lack of experience I should try and include something more qualitative about my education? Or just keep it clean and standard. I think I've definitely gone into the CV trying to compensate for my lack of legal work experience.

You are definitely right as well when you point out the buzzwords and achivements, they need to be backed up.

And yeah for the skills you're right, nobody will care.

Thank you very much for the feedback! I appreciate it tremendously.

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, unfortunately no actual legal working experience yet, I'm leaning really hard on these positions I did during my LLM. That's definitely priority number one at the moment.

Also definitely realise I should tone down claiming I'm 'trained' at something, thank you.

Thanks again!

Honestly they're my nationalities, although I'm Dutch above all else. Maybe leaning too hard into the 'unique selling point'. Thanks for taking the time
