Ten-Percent Legal Recruitment has published two guides for lawyers, law students and graduates to give you expert guidance through the process of making job applications, from preparing your CV to attending for interview.

1. The Complete Guide to Writing a Legal CV.        £25.00

This book is the complete guide to everything you will ever need to know about writing a CV. It covers all aspects of CV writing, from what paper to use, which font to type in, what sections the CV needs, what you need to leave in and out, particular problems (for example low A level grades, 2.2 degrees, international qualifications, no work experience, retakes, age, marital status), and common questions asked. The guide includes a sample CV. The author is a solicitor (non-practising) and director of ten-percent.co.uk limited who personally prepares and advises on CVs for law students, paralegals, trainee, newly qualified and senior solicitors and barristers across the UK, Europe and the Commonwealth. 

2. The Complete Interview Guide for Lawyers      £25.00

Ever wondered exactly what is going on in an interview, what the firm are looking for and how to present yourself in the best possible light? This book takes you through the initial stages of applying for a training contract, paralegal or lawyer position, getting ready to attend for interview, what to take with you, how to enter a room, what questions will be asked, how to answer questions, particular problems in interview, and what you can do afterwards to make a favourable impression. It also includes sample questions for you to ask and be asked.
