Your resume, or CV

[ginandtonic]

All the recent nonsense between C_M and my self aside, I am a person of business ineterest and I see quite a few resumes

Some people put as much bullshit on there as possible in every graphic detail. Other people condense it to one page and swear up and down by it. Which one are you?

Neither, I put a pic of myself dressed as Tarzan... I can't figure out why I've been unemployed for 12 years.

I have a concise 2 page CV, I used to be an IT manager of a recruitment company not too far from you actually G+T. So I know how to present a CV, also my girlfriend is a branch manager of a recruitment agency in Chester.

I must admit though I have filled in about a years worth of crap due to an extended holiday I had, although I havent actually lied, I just jiggled some dates around!!!

I think more than 2/3 pages is far too much info even if you are in the contract market and move jobs a lot. Your ability to present required info on your resume mirrors your ability to some extent as to how you are going to present info in your prganisational role.
some of the funniest Cv's i see are from African and muslim origin where they have obviously been to someone to derive their CV and they come in and you think wtf h is this the same person and he's just changed his name

AS an academic I have to have a CV that includes all my publications listed under a set of categories. It's 19 pages long altogether. About half of that is publications but only about 12 articles are in referreed academic journals. The rest are a variety of things; including about 2 pages of book reviews I did to get free books and a page of largely unpublished conference papers. However they are all relevant to my teaching and research, so it's completely true and it's completely transparent what's published where and how many pages long it is

Show off!!!

Only kidding lol. My CV is about half a page long.
