I'm not an expert but your implicit premise that it's OK for a cv or resume to have multiple pages surprises me.
One page! Put the most recent relevant stuff on one page and send that. I don't agree with the idea that it's OK to include more info because people don't have to read it. They do have to read it because it might contain a red flag.
Every word you type is making work for someone, and if it's not then why write it?
- prepend 3y agoWith digital files, I don’t think it makes more work. Different people want different things and it’s hard to know who will be reading. For my resume, I add on new items after each position or paper or new thing or whatever. So I’m just adding on new sections every few years. If I was starting fresh I probably wouldn’t write pages and pages. I agree that the first page should contain all essential information. But as for the extra pages, people only read if they have some reason.
