IMO CVs should be 3 pages.
1) Cover letter. Explain why you want the job and why you're a good person for that job.
2) Contact Details & Education. Most relevant and recent should be top of the list.
3) Previous Work experience. List only relevant skills from each position.
Less is more. If they want more detail they will ask for it in the interview.
- nilkn 13y agoHow does (2) fill an entire page outside of someone applying for an academic post who has to list all the conferences they've been to, etc.?
- bobbles 13y agoAll mine has is name / address, etc followed by course studied and the relevant topics studied during that course. It's not a 300 word page filled with text. Leaving space is also a good way for people to take notes on the CV (I've found that during my interviews the interviewer often used the CV like a checklist for asking their questions on my experience)
