Zahid in a few words
I am an Employment Solicitor within the field of employment law. Critical to my profession, is the ability to write concisely, precisely and clearly. I have extensive experience in dealing with employers, and so am well versed with what employers are looking for in a CV and covering letter. It is important to try and stand out from the crowd, and will always have this in mind when doing a job.
