Does your CV Detail Business Development?

​Many of the lawyers I represent to clients, don’t realise they have omitted this very important area, BD, in their CV.

I like to work with them, to tease out all of the relevant areas they need to list & if necessary, to extrapolate on. This ensures they put their best foot forward when applying for a new role.
This includes mentioning if;

• They have brought any new clients to the firm, and if so, of what nature, volume & value

• They have run (or assisted in running) seminars or briefings to internal or external clients (in person or through zoom)

• They have attended industry events

• They have attended clients events

• They have initiated events

• They have written articles or blogs, or had any writing published…

It’s important to remember that your CV is a tool to help get you through the door to interview. If you don’t include it on your CV, the interviewer isn’t going to know about it.
