Your CV is your marketing device – it needs to be easy and quick to read.
Your CV is as long as it needs to be.
The 2 page law is nonsense – but longer than 5 is probably too many
Arrange it chronologically in reverse with most recent experience at the start of the CV
Support each role with key achievements and descriptions of role undertaken
Keep Education and qualifications at the bottom
Keep personal interests to a minimum and make them relevant
NO to photographs – too cheesy by half!
NO to 'sentimental' comments about family etc
NO to MBA/management speak or jargon. Somewhat 90s!
