About this chapter

Some professions have their own CV conventions. I look at legal, accounting, scientific, architectural and design CVs, and why it's worth finding out how your field does it.

Key points

• Legal CVs often separate legal experience from other experience, each in chronological order.
• Architecture and science CVs may lead with training, research, theses or other field-specific detail.
• Ask colleagues, friends or recruiters in your industry; recruiters may reply if you're considering a specific role.
• Whatever the convention, a clean, clear CV with strong outcome-focused bullets still works.
