You would certainly agree with us that a lawyer must be able to comply with the standards dealing with preparation of legal opinions, take into account the form of and special considerations in drawing up service documents, and, of course, a lawyer must be perfectly literate. A lawyer's CV is a document that must be no less exemplary, too.
At KIAP, we have our own CV preparation standards. Get armed with those standards, and your CV will get far more chances of being noticed. The standards are:
- Volume: no more than 2 pages

- Supporting letter
- Exhibit 1:
- For specialists with experience: a list of successfully implemented projects according to the format specified on our web-site (to view an example, click here), but not more than 10. Hyperlinks to court cases in the arbitration database would be welcome but are not critical.
- For novice specialists: a list of projects in which they had a chance to participate, academic competitions, contests, and any other social activities
- Exhibit 2:
- CV visualization (infographics, mind map, storey line, prezi, drawing, and so forth), as an option.
